But they also 主張するd that even in the 1990s, scientists had not 設立するd links between chlordecone and illnesses in people.
"How dare they 令状 such a historical and 科学の untruth," Christophe L?guevaques, an 弁護士／代理人／検事 伴う／関わるd in the 事例／患者, said in a 声明 問題／発行するd Thursday.
Chlordecone, also known as kepone, was 特許d in the 1950s by scientists working for 連合した 化学製品, a U.S. company based in New Jersey now called 連合した 会社／団体, and millions of 続けざまに猛撃するs of the pesticide were produced, nearly all of it 輸出（する）d for use outside the 部隊d 明言する／公表するs.
The U.S. 政府 banned the pesticide in 1976, a year after the Virginia health department 永久的に shut 負かす／撃墜する a Life Science 製品s 化学製品 工場／植物 in Hopewell, Va., whose 労働者s developed slurred speech and other neurological problems 非難するd on the pesticide.
However, chlordecone was 合法的に marketed in フラン from 1981 until the 政府 banned it in 1990, and its use continued for three more years after that in Guadeloupe and Martinique to kill the 白人指導者べったりの東洋人 weevil under an 控除 認めるd by the French 政府. １０年間s later, it continues to 汚染する the islands' 国／地域 and water.

"This 決定／判定勝ち（する）, although it 代表するs a 広大な／多数の／重要な 失望, is not a surprise," the group said in a 声明 Friday, 公約するing to continue 代表するing those 影響する／感情d until "the truth comes out and 司法（官） is finally served."
判決，裁定 in June in a separate 訴訟 とじ込み／提出するd by 行動主義者s, organizations and 犠牲者s, the central 法廷，裁判所 in Paris 設立する the French 政府 有罪の of wrongful 怠慢，過失 伴う／関わるing the use of chlordecone but 否定するd 補償（金） to those 影響する／感情d, a 決定／判定勝ち（する） that 乱暴／暴力を加えるd many. The 裁判官s 支配するd in part that the 被告s did not 供給する 明確な／細部 詳細（に述べる）s to 正当化する "the 損失 of 苦悩 they （人命などを）奪う，主張する."
The 合法的な saga is taking place in Paris instead of the overseas French departments of Guadeloupe or Martinique because it's a public health 問題／発行する, so it is 扱うd by a special health 部隊 based within the central Paris 法廷，裁判所.
一方／合間, 公式の／役人s continue 実験（する）ing the islanders for 解放する／自由な to （悪事，秘密などを）発見する possible traces of chlordecone in their 血.
