March against Monsanto: Global protests

In January, the American city of Seattle sued Monsanto over allegations that the agrochemical giant polluted the Lower Duwamish River and city drainage pipes. The lawsuit claimed that the industrialized Lower Duwamish River was contaminated by polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). PCBs have been detected in 82 percent of drainage pipes in the Lower Duwamish drainage basin. The chemicals are associated with cancer, nervous system illness and reproductive illnesses in humans, and can lead to the destruction of fish habitats. Similar lawsuits against Monsanto were filed by the cities of San Jose, Oakland, Berkeley and San Diego in California, as well as the Washington State city of Spokane.
