PESTICIDES BANNED 
“BIRD-LOVING BRITAIN has banned use of insecticides aldrin, dieldrin, and 
heptachlor as of January 1, 1961. They have been blamed for deaths of 
thousands of birds in the last two years. In the future these chemicals will 
be used only in the fall to protect crops, which is expected to reduce risk of 
wildlife casualties by 90%. The use of arsenic was similarly restricted last 
year.” 
From CANADIAN CHEMICAL PROCESSING, August 1961, p. 69
