In parallel with the changing discourse in public health, a new awareness of environment pollution was developing from the seminal insights offered by, for example, Rachel Carson’s ‘Silent Spring’. Both the public and politicians became increasingly concerned about exposure of animals and plants, as well as humans, to pollutants ranging from pesticides and metals (such as mercury and cadmium); to radioactive materials. This concern became manifest in the establishment of environment agencies such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), charged with protecting both ecosystems and the public from emerging environmental threats. A more sophisticated view of how human activities might adversely affect ecosystems and their
component organisms began to take root.
