It can be understood from the passage that Mateo ----.
For decades, nets and sprays have been the only
effective methods for controlling the mosquitoes that
cause malaria. However, Spanish chemist Pilar Mateo
thinks she can do better with her invention of
embedding pesticides in microcapsules stirred into
house paints at her Valencia company. The insecticides
are released from the paint slowly, remaining effective
for two to four years, while sprays need to be reapplied
at least every six months. “The paint acts like a vaccine
for houses,” she says. The amounts of pesticides
released from the paint are harmless to people but are
devastating to insects, according to the tests made by
scientists. The paint has already been approved for use
in fifteen countries, including China and England. Mateo
is seeking approval in the US and a recommendation
from the World Health Organization. She says she has
received offers to buy her patent but refuses to sell out.
Instead, her new venture, another company in Africa,
will produce it commercially at a factory in Ghana and
employ a great number of workers. “By taking
production outside Spain, we can reduce the cost and
make it more accessible,” she says. Her idea is to sell
the paint as an affordable alternative to sprays. After
years of donating paint to poor people in Latin America,
Mateo wants to fund her broader humanitarian efforts.
“It’s not just the insects that are the problem”, she says,
“It’s the poverty.”
