Rachel Carson's ideas were opposed primarily by those in the agricultural industry, chemical companies, and some government officials who felt that her book "Silent Spring" was alarmist and exaggerated the environmental dangers of pesticides like DDT. They were concerned that her work would lead to bans on these chemicals, which would have financial implications for their industries. Additionally, some people believed that her ideas threatened the progress of modern agriculture and economic development.
