Developed nations pledged to cure themselves of their addiction to the pesticide by Jan. 1, 2005. The US vowed to do better: to ban the use of methyl bromide in California by 1997, and to ban its import and production nationwide by 2001. David Chatfield, executive director of Californians for Pesticide Reform, is baffled by the notion of replacing methyl bromide with methyl iodide. "It's ...
