I was just wondering if we could get toxic rain from the chemicals used

have a dire effect on crops and food production.

Unlikely. Chemicals like surfactants have very low vapor pressures.
There would be volatile hydrocarbons like methane that would make it
into the atmosphere to supplement the cow farts contributing to global
warming.
