I want to know the answer to the following question:
What might someone knowledgable about the history of pesticides call ther period of the 1940s and 1950s?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The first legislation providing federal authority for regulating pesticides was enacted in 1910; however, decades later during the 1940s manufacturers began to produce large amounts of synthetic pesticides and their use became widespread.". Is that enough to answer the question?
