On this day in 2001 Internationally recognised british toxicologist David Peakall died aged 70 He did an awful lot of research on the effects of pollution on wildlife, most notable on the effects of DDE and DDTs on birds eggshells- showing that they worringly thinned birds eggshells and posed a real danger to the health and survival of numerous bird species. His research was extensive and rigorous and despite much pushback from the chemical industry his findings lead to the banning of the use of DDTs in the US. Other research includes the effects of polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs) on birds and the capacity of some chemical compounds pumped out of factories in their effluence to harm the fertility of some birds. -
