British chemical company ICI has pulled out of Plan Colombia's controversial
fumigation campaign. The firm was supplying ingredients for toxic chemicals
used in the U.S.-funded aerial spraying of coca-growing regions, but
abandoned the scheme amid health concerns. Local hospitals in the Putumayo
region, where the coca fumigation is taking place, have reported increases
in skin rashes, diarrhea and stomach aches (see "Death Falls from the Sky,"
April 30).
