释义 |
Paul François is a French agricultor and author,[1] who has been decorated with the Legion of Honour.[2] He is notable chiefly because he demonstrated to a court of law that he was poisoned by a Monsanto product. Early lifeFrançois is a native of Bernac, Charente. He chose to specialise in cereal agriculture from an early age.[2] François considers himself to have been "a pure product of the chemical agriculture industry", up until his rupture with it because of his poisoning.[3] Toxic incidentFrançois inhaled the poison on 27 April 2004. He was ill enough to spit blood when interned in hospital. As late as November that year, the long-term effects of the poison caused him to faint, and in May 2005 it was determined that monochlorobenzene—a solvent used in Lasso to dilute the Alachlor—was present in his bloodstream.[2] Betimes, Alachlor was prohibited by the French government in November 2007.[2] Formal recognition of hazardAn employment tribunal formally recognised in 2010 that François in fact had been poisoned.[2] François v MonsantoTrial divisionThe Monsanto product with which François was poisoned is known commercially as Lasso.[4] In December 2011, final arguments to the court were heard.[5] In February 2012, the Tribunal de Grande Instance of Lyon condemned Monsanto to pay damages to François.[6] Appeal divisionIn 2015 at the appeal court, Monsanto lawyers repeatedly refused to concede that their product was toxic and that the damages owed were fictitious.[4] Monsanto is fighting a nasty rear-guard action, and as of 2017, refused quantum.[7] AuthorFrançois wrote, with Anne-Laure Barret, Un paysan contre Monsanto to document his battle against Monsanto. This book, which was released to market in October 2017, was published by Fayard press.[8] With the benefit of hindsight, François has considered how his perspective has changed:[4] {{Cquote|We were never worried about the toxicity of herbicides.
