Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the banning of chlorpyrifos, stating that "it should now be obvious that with the recent restrictions announced on chlorpyrifos products (known to most people by the most common trade names Dursban and Lorsban) the Food Quality Protection Act is more about politics than science -- more about elections than facts -- more about waht is expedient than what is right." Also states that "the facts are that there is no new information about Dursban. No one has been harmed by it. It is not harmful to the environment. And yet, we can thank 'Clinton-Gore' for protecting our 'children'." |
