Chapter 104: DDT

Zhu Cheng continued to decipher the folder he got from Google, and the more information in this folder was unlocked, the more he felt that the American capitalists had gone too far, and this excess was not just a super photolylase for Zhu Cheng. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

The persecuted scientist he was not the first, nor the last.

The worldwide scam, the diamond marketing case, the vitamin marketing case was for profit, then the inventor of DDT, the Swiss chemist Paul Müller, died in pain and remorse in 1965. is a typical example of the persecution of scientists by capitalists.

During World War II, Switzerland faced food shortages; Russia is shrouded in the erosion of spotting, typhoid fever; Malaria is ravaging the world; Wars, locust plagues, and plagues have made all mankind miserable.

At that time, there were only two kinds of insecticides in the world, an insecticide extracted from natural plants, which was slow and expensive, and needed to be devoured by insects to have an effect.

The second synthetic arsenic compound, this class of substances is very toxic and cheap, but it is very harmful to people and animals. The world urgently needs an insecticide to kill mosquitoes, flies and other insects to control the malaria epidemic.

After more than 300 tests, Mueller was poisoned, but he still insisted on being in front of the experimental bench, looking for insecticides that did not need to be eaten and touched to kill insects.

His gaze finally surrendered to the compound of the CCL3 group, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane! Benzene ring poisons! Trichloroethane is highly fat-soluble, and it breaks through the body of insects with a benzene ring, and kills insects such as mosquitoes and flies, which are the transmission routes of malaria by affecting sodium ion channels in nerve cells.

DDT has great contact toxicity to many insects such as words, lice, fleas, sandflies, etc., and it will die when touched! However, under normal use, the toxicity to birds and mammals is negligible! This toxicity only accumulates to a rather terrifying number! will affect humans.

Mueller has filed a patent for DDT! And the capitalists seized this opportunity and made DDT into solvents, emulsions, powders...... and all other forms to flood the market!

In 1942, at the height of World War II, Müller's DDT was well disinfected and the plague was controlled. Killing mosquitoes and flies strangled the demon of malaria in the cradle. Crops sprayed with DDT are no longer pest-free.

Everything is going for the better, and people no longer have to worry about not having enough food to eat, and they don't have to worry about losing their lives if a mosquito bites a packet.

In the midst of the chaos, cholera, spotted rash, and injurious diseases were quickly contained, and the spread of malaria, plague, and encephalitis was controlled worldwide.

In January 1944, Naples, the largest city in southern Italy, was plagued by lice, and infectious diseases claimed countless lives. Whether it is soldiers or ordinary people queuing up to receive the diluted DDT solution, after 3 weeks, the lice are completely eliminated! This was the first time in human history that an epidemic of typhus fever was stopped.

In 1948, six years after the commercialization of DDT, Müller won the Nobel Prize! The award recognizes his contributions to the high contact toxicity of arthropods. Muller was praised on the altar and was hailed as one of the three great inventions of World War II, the atomic bomb! Penicillin! ddt!

He was also the first chemist to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

People are crazy about singing the good name of Muller, and the affirmation of the Nobel Prize has made the world completely recognize the efficacy of DDT. Use it without moderation!

Really catch who sprays whom, many people in the malaria outbreak area, surround the epidemic prevention personnel, let them aim the nozzle at themselves! It seems that DDT is a panacea for the savior, and it can be worshiped like a mad man!

And the title of savior, the terminator of disease, was also worn on Müller's head.

It was at this time that the capitalists behind it were finally ready to do it, and they quietly began to plan. Preparing to drag Mueller off the altar for the sake of the expensive patent fees and the promotion of new products.

The first is the national bird of the United States, the bald eagle. It symbolizes bravery, strength, and freedom, and can be seen on the U.S. coat of arms, coins, and many patriotic ornaments.

In the continental United States, outside of Alaska, there are about 100,000 bald eagles, and they are the most beautiful scenery on the Mississippi River.

And in 1950, the capitalists raised their shotguns and slaughtered them! And all this is done quietly, no one knows. When the American people were horrified to find that the bald eagle was no longer flying, and only 417 pairs of nesting bald eagles remained, they loudly asked the president what happened!

All responses were unanimously characterized as the refractory and toxic nature of DDT that led to the bald eagle's death.

This is not the end, but only the beginning.

They characterized DDT as a killer, claiming that poisoned insects were eaten by birds, and the DDT sprayed with the leaves fell into the soil with the leaves, leaving up to 1 billion pounds of DDT worldwide!

They add DDT to the food of the penguins in Antarctica, and the DDT pollution of the slander Feller is everywhere!

This is still not the end! A novel called Silent Spring is a big hit! The scene depicted is that DDT is like a Pandora's box, and the danger of DDT is terrifyingly magnified.

In tropical areas such as Africa, various malaria viruses are maliciously dropped to create plagues! Shouting at DDT for malaria rebound.

DDT has been tested one after another, appearing in the mother's milk, the baby's brain, the iceberg in Antarctica, the snow on Mount Everest, and so on! It's everywhere, it's a demon, and it's become the "most famous" pollutant in history!

It allows birds to lay soft-shell eggs, affecting hatching and breeding.

The world is crying! Malaria is on the rise! In the media reports, everyone is complaining about the dangers of DDT, and Mueller has changed from being a savior to a destroyer of the world.

The biggest blow to a scientist is the loss of honor, and the Nobel Prize Committee has dealt him a heavy blow! They apologized for awarding the Miller Nobel Prize in Physiology in '48.

This apology finally let this person who saved the world die in depression!

Now DDT is a well-known example for teachers to tell students that science is a double-edged sword. After dinner, when talking about this popular insecticide all over the world, I can only sigh.

DDT production plants have been transformed and disappeared, and this cheap pesticide is no longer available on the market.

And this is the beginning of a nightmare for developing countries in the tropics!

In 1969, in the midst of anti-DDT sentiment, the United States withdrew its assistance to Sri Lanka's DDT mosquito control program, and only one year later, the number of malaria patients in Sri Lanka increased to 500,000, compared to 17 in 1968.

More than 300 million patients in developing countries in non-tropical regions are suffering from malaria, and 1 million people die every year, the vast majority of them children, perhaps 1 million is too abstract, to put it in a very concrete number, seven Boeing 747s full of children crash every day.

In 2006, the World Health Organization finally started using DDT again to fight malaria! And Mueller has been dead for many years, and he no longer sees the moment when DDT will regain its glory.

What are the capitalists for? DDT is too cheap and their margins are too weak after paying a lot of royalties. And they found a DDVP that seemed to be able to replace DDT as an insecticide, but DDT blocked their way!

DDVP is commonly known as dichlorvos, which is volatile and toxic. Corrosive to iron. It is poisoning to humans and animals, highly toxic to fish, and highly toxic to bees.

But what does it matter? It's just more profitable. The insecticidal mechanism is the same, the factory transformation will not waste too much money, and they can get higher profits!

And Müller died in agony, without even a name that was sung by the world, and the translations of various countries were different, even in front of the Royal Academy of Rahr in Switzerland, there was still a sculpture of Müller, and that heavy gaze looked at the world he had saved. It's all a little gloomy.

And DDVP is more like a joke, and the high toxicity is countless times stronger than the pollution ability of DDT!

But DDT was nowhere to be found! People can only choose the more expensive DDVP! But it is possible to be poisoned. And for malaria, DDVP is a joke among jokes! Everyone had no choice but to restart the DDT indoor residual spraying technology to prevent DDT pollution.

And indoor residual spraying technology! It was Muller who formulated the method of use when he developed DDT, and no one had ever heard of it, and the carnival feast of the capitalists made the whole world pay.

80% of malaria occurs in the poorest places in the world, they can't afford more expensive insecticides, and DDT is the cheapest and most convenient, but it is banned, mosquitoes are rampant, and malaria is rampant!

In death and pollution must choose one, people prefer to choose pollution over death, not to mention the correct use of DDT will hardly cause any pollution.

Müller was treated as a god and a demon at the same time! After his death, no one bothered his scientific research, and it was hoped that Heaven would have a laboratory to allow him to continue his unfinished dream.

Zhu Cheng translated this material perfectly and printed it out, and he said to the winger that the biggest ceiling of science is capital, and this statement suddenly had some recognition!

Any new drug, new technology, new invention is labeled as capital, and in such a world shrouded in white terror, what ability does ordinary people have to struggle?

How do children who die in the interests of the capitalists cry in hell? Zhu Cheng shook his head vigorously and burned the piece of paper full of blood and tears to ashes! The deceased is gone.

This is just history, and history can only be remembered! And disturbing an old man who has been in the ground for fifty years is not in line with Zhu Cheng's aesthetics! He wants to use his method to make the pyramid of scientific research break through the limit!

He calmed down and began to flip through Zhao Shishi's plan, this plan is a set of plans about life, in the planning, there are a lot of immature opinions, after the modification, he believes that people will be very satisfied with this software!

ps: begging, begging, begging, begging, asking for recommendation votes!! Yes!

Thanks to Zephyr Knight's 4,000 coin tip, I suddenly found out that I have a helmsman...... Thank you.
