Commercial pesticides: Not as safe as they seem

Date:
    March 8, 2018
Source:

Summary:
    This is the first comprehensive review of gaps in risk assessments for adjuvants in pesticide formulations which are not currently subject to safety assessments. Ignoring the potential dangers of other ingredients in commonly used commercial pesticides leads to inaccuracies in the safety profile of the pesticide solution, as well as confusion in scientific literature on pesticide effects. The review suggests that new regulations are needed to protect people and the environment from toxic pesticide ingredients.

The real story - these pesticides are effective and need to be taken away from the commoners before they destroy Gaia by using them ......

What rational reason is there not to include adjuvants in the risk assessment?!?
