Though the scientific community already knew of the dangers, Carson was the first to make the information accessible and palatable to a mass audience in her groundbreaking book. She focused mainly on the insecticide DDT, which had been dubbed “one of the greatest discoveries of World War II” by Time magazine for its ability to kill insects that spread malaria and typhus and was routinely sprayed in homes and on crops.Ĭarson called for much greater caution against these “elixirs of death” and wrote, “If we are living so intimately with chemicals-eating and drinking them, taking them into the very marrow of our bones-we had better know something about their power.” In what she referred to as her “poison book,” Carson revealed the damaging effects of the indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides on the environment.
