PANAP’s landmark reports Communities in Peril documented the health impacts of pesticides use in agriculture in Asia and all over the world. As a result, United Plantations in Malasyia phased out two Highly Hazardous Pesticides, paraquat and mocrotophos; while endosulfan spraying was stopped in Kasargod, India. The reports were also instrumental in PAN’s lobbying efforts at the international level. A year after, endosulfan was listed as a Persistent Organic Pollutant and included in the Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions for global phase-out.
