...back up their suit, the conservationists point out that the Department of Health, Education and Welfare lists the chemical as a cause of cancer in mice. The National Marine Fisheries Service has demonstrated that in laboratory sea water, trace amounts of Mirex kill young shrimps and crabs. The conservationists also contend that the chemical will be discharged from aircraft on all surfaces that might be inhabited by fire ants, including streams, parks and playgrounds. As an alternative to airborne treatment, they suggest that the fire ant be curbed by spreading Mirex directly on the insects' mounds...
