When Switzerland's milk was poisoned with insecticides - The long-term consequences of the intensive use of wood preservatives in the 1960s
In the 1960s, many stables and barns in Switzerland were treated with wood preservatives. It soon became apparent that these could end up in the milk via the cows' feed. As a result, some farms had to dispose of their entire milk production. But even today you can still find buildings with contaminated wood. This field report shows the challenges that experts have to tackle with such properties.
