Banned Herbicides & Pesticides

writes Alan Gould wrote in message ... In article , anton writes Yes. Returning to the point, compare and contrast the dangers to the user of current pesticides when properly used with: a) previously used pesticides, such as lead arsenate b) other household chemicals c) urine Where does(did) paraquat stand in this thread? Nowhere now- it's not a garden herbicide, and hasn't been for some time: http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk/m...es/Poisons.htm REGISTRATION UNDER THE POISONS ACT 1972 "The following poisons may be sold ONLY to persons engaged in the trade or business of agriculture, horticulture or forestry and for the purpose of that trade or business....paraquat" Very nasty stuff. Only if you are daft enough to drink it. And enough people were... I thought they latterly added bitterex or something similarly vicious tasting to prevent would be suicide cases using the stuff. Nasty choice of poison too. ISTR it is metabolised and almost completely removed but destroys vital organs like the liver and/or kidneys in the process. Similar problems also occur with natural Amanita toxins. Regards, -- Martin Brown |
