However,therehasbeenapuzzlingandtroublingtrendinrecentyears:anattackonhertheorybyconservativesandtheagrochemical(农用化学品)industry.Fore*ample,RushLimbaughgavethefollowingquiz:"Whocausedmoredeaths:AdolfHitlerorRachelCarson?'Limbaugh'sanswerwasCarson,duetotheappro*imately100milliondeathsfrommalaria(疟疾)since1972,theyearinwhichthepesticide(杀虫剂)DDTwasbannedforuseintheUnitedStatesinpartasaresultof"SilentSpring.'
