"Yannick Chenet, a French winegrower, died after contracting leukemia, becoming the first farmer to have his illness officially linked to the pesticides he used for years on his crops.

More than a quarter of the roughly 220,000 tons of pesticides used in Europe per year is sprayed onto French soil."
