Widely used between 1972 and 1993 in Caribbean banana plantations, chlordecone—an organochlorine insecticide that is now banned—persists in soils, ecosystems, and the food chain. This multidisciplinary collective work provides an overview of the most recent scientific findings. It analyzes the impacts, the challenges, and the public responses implemented to limit exposure and manage the risks of this pollution, which has a lasting impact on the health of populations and the environment. It draws lessons for the future, with the goal of promoting a “One Health” approach to address the challenges posed by this unprecedented health and environmental crisis. The book is intended for scientists, educators, policymakers, professionals, and members of organizations who wish to gain an in-depth understanding of the various routes of exposure to this widespread contamination and who are interested in finding solutions aimed at protecting the long-term health of populations and ecosystems in the Caribbean.
