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

Too busy to read extensively at the moment. What do you mean by "results
were not allowed"???
