| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the issues with 2,4-D, a pesticide, and lists results of studies done that link 2,4-D exposure with genetic damage, disruption of sex hormones, immune system problems, cancer, low sperm counts, and birth defects. States that 2,4-D is also linked to cancer in pets, destruction of birds' food and shelter, toxicity to fish, damge to frogs' eggs, and mutations in plants. Discusses the results of a review by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that counter the studies done by other scientists. Describes the methods used by the EPA for their testing and how the EPA is handling the issues surrounding 2,4-D. |
