by Charita WijeratneLaboratory tests alarmed some scientist academics and warned us about the presence of arsenic compounds in pesticides. Also on the basis of laboratory tests another group of scientist-academics allayed our fears by finding no traces of arsenic in water. Also on the basis of tests (no mention of laboratory) the Agriculture Ministry hastened to assure us that there are absolutely no traces of arsenic in the rice we eat. With that last almost commanding announcement, the embattled scientists retreated into their shells.
