Just skim your references do ya?
Old and irrelevant news there slick.
Let's just skip the diminutive name calling, OK?
This is an exchange of ideas, not a school yard.
Act your age, please.
In fact Today Ironite uses Jersey Greensand in one of its formula.
These facts keep getting overlooked by you latrine lawyers in your zeal to
pounce on anything you feel is counterindicated by your zealotry .
Trace elements in soils and sediments have, for many years, been
receiving attention of investigators in plant and animal nutrition.
But, with increasing concerns for environmental quality, there is also
now major attention given to trace elements from the standpoint of
toxicity as well as deficiency. The former is especially true with the
greensand deposits in New Jersey.
Dooley (1998) made analyses of New Jersey greensands and, of 7 sites,
he reported 7 to 31 ppm arsenic, 5 to 18 ppm beryllium, 0.2 to1.2
ppm cadmium, and 130 to 1000 ppm chromium among other elements
present. In a subsequent publication, Dooley (2001) made an exhaustive
report of trace element content of New Jersey greensands and soils.
His report is the most definitive work to date concerning greensands
throughout the State. Some of the high values of elements in New
Jersey such as arsenic may be in part from past agricultural
practices.
Schnepfe, May and Naeser (1964) reported that glauconite serves as a
scavenger matrix for nuclear waste products such as cesium and
strontium.
Kabota-Pendias and Pendias (1984) state that the critical quantity of
arsenic in soils is in the 20 to 50 ppm range.
Dooley (1998) reported 7.1 to 31 ppm arsenic in the greensands of New
Jersey.

Read your references thoroughly to keep your facts right Steve.
I'm doing my best.
I'm trying to figure out why he couldn't just say the company was sold
in 2006, and the product was reformulated, and give a cite.
