It sounds to me mankind shouldn't open up Pandora's Box until we are ready to take all the consequences. It sounds like it is too late for this chemical. no I'm not saying they should use it anymore.
Something one of my Elementary School teachers told me a long time ago.
Be very careful what you ask for. Because once you get it. You may not want it.

Even if we stopped using it today, it will take years before it breaks down.

It would have been better had the article given a link to the research it is referring to.
