Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study testing "four herbicides, three insecticides and two fungicides in combination." States that "each [chemical] was administered to tadpoles at 0.1 part per billion - amounts commonly found in waters near farms but thousands of times lower than the doses in most pesticide experiments." Reports that "the frogs developed an array of health problems, including meningitis, because the chemicals suppressed their immune systems." |
