It is absolutely impossible for lawn chemicals to be tested and proven
safe
for contact with people.

The same thing can be said about any food item. Duh.



Duh. Food and medicines can be tasted/tested on human volunteers. Drug
companies have occasionally solicited volunteers from prison populations for
testing particularly risky drugs, but I am not aware of ANY instance in
which a chemical company has asked for volunteers to ingest or be exposed to
agricultural chemicals. You and I are the test population, but nobody asked
for our permission.


It was done in '96..results were not allowed..earlier this year a
panel of gou't offficials gave the O.K. to use the results of such
tests
