Taking the Law for the Alteration and Supplementation of the
Foodstuffs Law of 1936 which was promulgated on the 21. 12. 1958 as
a point of departure, first of all the development of the chemical
media for the pro tection of plant life is dealt with along broad
lines, for which de Bary's investigations concerning rust
manifestations, published in 1853, created the necessary
pre-requisite conditions. Serious doubts regarding secondary
effects injurious to health were first caused by the development
and bulk manufacture of media produced on an organic-synthetical
basis. They found their most alarming expression, as evidenced up
to now, in the American bestseller "The Silent Spring," by Rachel
Carson, which induced President Kennedy to instruct his scientific
advisory committee to establish areport on the subject, this being
published on the 15th May 1963. The book and the report, as well as
the resultant discussions thereof, are characterized in short form
and the demand made, that the said discussions should no longer in
the future concern the book, but should take as their point of
departure the factual situation as shown in the report. The report
was commented upon two years later by the Whitten report, whidt
based its arguments upon in formation obtained from 213 scientists
and medical practitioners, whilst a census of opinion in Washington
concerning pesticides came to the conclu sion at the beginning of
this year that the chemical residues in the foodstuffs did not
represent any threat to human health."
