Hi John & All,
That cultural shift, with overkill, has been in place since day one =
but especially since Silent Spring: ~1960. Ninety five % (my estimate) =
of research effort is a heavy burden of proof. Don't trust me. Read some =
of these papers. Or consult the Soil Sci. Pub I mentioned.=20
If those who manufacture tooth paste, mouth wash, shampoo, paint, =
cutlery, dishes... had to leap through a comparable battery of flaming =
hoops then we would all go unwashed, have rotten teeth, bad breath, live =
in unpainted hovels and die young, hungry and cold as in the good old =
days.

I think we need a cultural shift, where the burden of proof should be =

Hi Nick & All,
With respect to Atrazine, and pesticides in general, I would guess =
that roughly 95% of the research effort has been directed to =
environmental protection. Have a look at Pesticides in the Soil =
Environment: Processes, Impacts, and Modeling, Soil Sci. Soc Amer. Book =
Series No. 2., ed. H.H.Cheng, 530 pp.,1990.
=20
Spray and weigh trials are fairly straightforward but making sure =
that materials and their degredation products do not lead directly to =
environmental harm is a huge undertaking.

no confusion here. Listserve focus is on nature not human safety. =
Atrazine article deals with human safety concerns not biodiversity.
If we want to take a stand on pesticides it would be for their =
biodiversity implications of which there are tons. Roundup is an example =
but there are many
showing impacts of other pesticides on native bees and other =
pollinators.
