In general, they are just gone because the places where they might 
still be legal to use are generally not places with the technology to 
produce them.  There are exceptions, particularly in the areas of 
insecticides and herbicides, which are still made in countries where 
their use is generally banned, for sale to third-world 
countries.  The thinking seems to be that in areas where insect-borne 
disease and famine are common, the disease is still worse than the 
cure.  Other things (lead paint comes to mind) are still made for 
non-residential use here, but not commonly available.

Best regards,

Charles
