Talk:Amir Attaran

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article currently says:

"... and has argued publicly for the renewed use of DDT in sub-Saharan Africa to eradicate mosquito populations and combat malaria ..."

This needs a citation. It sounds like hyperbole. His calls for DDT use have, to my very limited knowledge, been for use of DDT in malarial control programs (like spraying in houses) not for the use of DDT for the "eradication" of mosquito populations. He has for example, called for indoor spraying see: http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/opinion/story.html?id=b7d60b16-a7ce-4e17-8179-ebbacb31675f&p=2

Also, this article had been defaced for a long time until I undid the edit.
