The result was Silent Spring (1962), which brought environmental concerns to the American public. In the late 1950s, Carson turned her attention to conservation, especially environmental problems that she believed were caused by synthetic pesticides. Carson accused the chemical industry of spreading disinformation and public officials of accepting industry claims unquestioningly. The book documented the detrimental effects on the environment-particularly on birds-of the indiscriminate use of pesticides. Silent Spring is a 1962 environmental science book by Rachel Carson.
We have suffered both massive environmental damage, disease and pest resistance, and human health issues. The book ‘Silent Spring’ triggered an environmental movement and as such we have known the toxic effects of chemical agriculture, basically from the very beginning.
