United States, Anniston, May 21, 2018 From the series ??Contaminations?? Before becoming a giant in the world of agriculture, Monsanto was originally a chemical company. The name Monsanto is associated with Agent Orange, the herbicide and defoliant it manufactured and which was used to such disastrous effect in the Vietnam War; and for much of the 20th century, the company marketed polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) around the world. PCBs are toxic, and specifically ecotoxic and reprotoxic. Even at low doses, PCBs can cause cancer and have an effect on the immune system, the reproductive system, the central nervous system and the endocrine system. PCBs have been widely used as coolants and lubricants, for example in transformers and capacitors found in electrical equipment ranging from a refrigerator to a thermal power plant. They are extremely volatile, persisting in the air, and have even been detected in polar regions. As persistent pollutants, it can take up to 2,700 years for some of these compounds to break down. Monsento's plant in Anniston. ?tats-Unis, Anniston, 21 mai 2018 Issu de la serie ??Contaminations?? Avant de se consacrer aux biotechnologies agricoles, la societe Monsanto s'est developpee dans l'industrie chimique. On lui doit notamment la production de l'agent orange deverse sur les populations pendant la guerre du Vietnam, mais egalement, tout au long du XXe siccle, la commercialisation des PCB dans le monde entier. Les PCB sont toxiques, ecotoxiques et reprotoxiques. Y compris r faibles doses, ils provoquent des cancers, des effets sur le systcme immunitaire, le systcme reproducteur, le systcme nerveux, le systcme endocrinien... Cette famille de 209 derives chimiques chlores ont ete utilises notamment pour la fabrication de systcmes isolants dans les condensateurs et les transformateurs electriques, du frigo r la centrale thermique. Extremement volatiles, ils voyagent dans les airs et on en trouve jusque dans l'Arctique. Les PCB sont persista
