Maybe the air? The water? Animals they consume that could have ingested the chemical?

Despite the U.S ban on all forms of pesticides, it is possible for Americans to still ingest the chemicals because they can still reach the United States as residue on foods or even through the global movement of winds and water. In other countries they use pesticides that are banned in the United States, but stilll put it on the market. The world is not made up of isolated environments. Any impact on one country is an impact on another.
