I know that the EPA has been slow to challenge those that know these common chemicals used on lawns are indeed harmful. For example Trimec, a common fertlizer, contains 3 dangerous substances: 2,4-D , Dicambra, and Mecoprop. You can check these chemicals out to the left on this great website at Beyond Pesticides.org. What scares me most is the unsuspecting consumer who is told these products are “virtually safe” by their land scaping company and they just accept. And what about all the people who are retired that live on complexes whers these materials are used…do you really think they know what products are being used and are harmful they are? I doubt it.
