It does not say the "toxic cloud" was glyphosphate.

What does it says then, perhaps it was a toxic cloud of custard? GM
farming uses intensive use of herbicides. If you want to be silly with
me, then so be it but I will not carry on the conversation. But if
you're not I just hope I will make change your mind in the use of
chemicals.


....

Surely the lesson to be learned there, is if you're going to
use glyphosphate as a spot weedkiller in the garden, more especilly
in a suburban garden, don't try and and apply it using a crop
spraying aeroplane. More especially in windy conditions.

Which seems sensible enough advice to me.

In Colonia Loma Senes they saw a toxic cloud made out of herbicides.
The herbicides they use has glyphosate, altrazine, picloram etc. mix.
Glyphosate is the active killing ingredient in numerous proprietary
pesticides that British amateur gardeners keep bying for their nice
green lawn which includes:- ROUNDUP, EAZY WEEDER, SLAM grass and weed
killer, ZERO weed spray and wand, COMKILL, SQUADRON, TILLMASTER,
TUMBLEWEED, etc. as explained to Judith a couple of days ago. (source
Paula).

Also glyphosate readily "nitrosates" to form a new compound called
nitrosoglyphosate, which is known to cause tumours. Nitrosation occurs
in the human stomach by reaction with the nitrate in normal human
saliva. Nice innit. (source BDAA)

A mixture of picloram and 2,4-D, known as Agent White during the
Vietnam War, was sprayed by the US military on those plants that
survived the initial onslaught of Agent Orange (2,4,5-T and 2,4-D).
That mixture is sold in Australia as Tordon.

In the U.S. in 1993, university studies declared glyphosate the third
most commonly reported cause of pesticide illness among agricultural
workers, and to be the most
commonly reported cause of pesticide illness among landscape
maintenance workers.

Don't buy these products. Full stop.
