I'll quote: "However, malathion breaks down into malaoxon, which is 60

and we all know how reliable wikipedia is. where is the scientific
articles showing
this? Ingrid



The first half of the statement is true. If there are high schools where you
live, and you hurry before they close for summer, you can ask a chemistry
teacher and she/he will explain the chemical conversion to you. Since you're
a very smart person, I assume you will then accept the statement as true.

The second half is probably the one that bothers you, right? If you were to
see three sources of this information which you consider to be absolutely
reliable, who would those sources be? Perhaps I can help you find the
information. It would be this type of thing:

I think you'll find that interesting, in a way that's sadly predictable.
Come on back real soon and we'll talk about it.
