Rachel Carson is a prominent figure within environmental
health. Her book Silent Spring was
published in 1962, just two years before her death, and helped lead to public opposition
and the ban of DDT as well as changes in laws concerning pesticide and chemical
use. Carson exposed the results of human and environmental exposure to DDT and
pesticides and helped to make our environment a safer place to live today.
