 Precautionary Principle and Potential POPs: the Chilean Case
In the X Region (Los Lagos), pp'-DDE, lindane, dieldrin, DDT and pp'-DDT residuals were found in almost 80% of the samples, indicating that at the time of the study (1989) the ban on the use of DDT was not respected in this region.
While the presence of organochlorines in the soils of some southern regions of the country was diminishing, as is the case of the Los Lagos Region, where only four residuals were identified, and aldrin, chlordane, endrin, heptachlor and heptachlor-epoxide were not detected, their presence in high concentration persisted in living organisms.
In this region the daily intake of pesticides surpassed excessively all standards, to the point of being described by specialists of the health sector as "frankly worrying", specially for the possible toxic effects on the breastfed population.

Alerce trees are unique to the coastal temperate rainforests of Chile's Los Lagos (lakes) region - their primary habitat - located between 800 and 1,200 km south of Santiago, and Argentina's southern Patagonia region.
As the criticism mounted, Weber and CONAF regional director Pedro Bahamondes decided to dismiss Carlos Poblete, CONAF director of inspections in the province of Llanquihue, and two inspectors, on Aug. 22.
The activist argued that it is essential for the Lagos administration to "send out clear signals, and to decide once and for all to put into place a policy that would effectively protect alerce" by removing the legal loopholes, such as the one authorising the harvesting of "dead" trees.

Similar in many ways to Region 9, Los Lagos offers a climate that is more humid and rainy.
The region offers a wide range of terrain and population centers, from farmland to the metropolitan city of Valdivia to the island of Chiloé;.

 Who Killed the Swans?
The Regional Environmental Commission hit Celco with a 25,000-dollar fine in April for the foul smell coming from the factory, perceptible 60 km away in the city of Valdivia.
On Nov. 29, the regional environmental commission for Los Lagos imposed two fines against Celco, worth 5,000 dollars each, for failing to turn in timely reports measuring toxic waste from cellulose production in sediments and water.
But environmental commission director José Luis García Huidobro and the national government's designated intendant for the Los Lagos region, Patricio Vallespín, insisted it has not been proved that there is a relationship between that irregularity and the deaths of the swans.
