I certainly don't want such extreme claims getting there! Bluntly,
that's so misleading as to be tantamount to being twaddle. It's one
of the ecologically safest horticultural chemicals because, while
it's nasty when it is still around, it decomposes completely into
totally harmless and widespread chemicals - i.e. common salt and
combined oxygen.
