Yahoo! News article:
"A U.N. meeting next week will seek new ways to kill mosquitoes and termites as part of a plan to bolster a 2004 ban on use of a 'dirty dozen' toxic chemicals.
"Some pesticides on the blacklist of 12 industrial toxins are still in use to keep humanity's worst insect foes at bay even though they have been blamed for deaths, cancers or birth defects in humans and animals.
About 800 officials from around the world will meet in Punta del Este, Uruguay, on May 2-6 to narrow loopholes allowing legal exemptions to the ban on the so-called persistent organic pollutants (POPs)."
