Die giftigste Insel der Welt?

Martinique could be an absolute dream vacation: white sandy beaches, turquoise water, and tropical forests. But beneath this paradisiacal surface, poison lurks – literally. Over 90% of people on #Martinique have a toxic chemical in their blood: chlordecone. A pesticide that is considered carcinogenic and disease-causing. But how could an entire island be poisoned? And what do bananas have to do with it? In the new episode of #ATLAS, you'll find out who's behind the deadly business and what the French President has to do with it. 00:00 A Poisoned Island 01:07 Poison Everywhere 02:42 La French Banana 04:05 Toxic Relationship Music: Money Pull Up – Blaiz Fayah x Maureen Expert: Zaka Toto, Historian You can find our sources here: https://play.funk.net/channel/atlas-1... The weekly explainer format ATLAS explores an exciting and current topic from a different part of the world in each episode. The two hosts, Tessniem Kadiri and Don Pablo Mulemba, explain the current problems and conflicts, providing context. They don't look at the rest of the world from a purely German perspective: They speak with people on the ground who can report firsthand.
