Comments on: USDA Study Finds Higher Rates of Herbicide Volatilization Than Expected http://www.beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/?p=5663 News on pesticide science, policy and activism Wed, 15 May 2013 15:03:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Don Hoernschemeyer http://www.beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/?p=5663#comment-108382 Don Hoernschemeyer Fri, 05 Aug 2011 14:37:16 +0000 http://www.beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/?p=5663#comment-108382 This article opens a whole area of concern: what is the fate of the volatilized herbicides, i.e., how far do they travel in the air and what are the health effect when inhaled (as opposed to ingested)? Volatilization is likely to occur with other herbicides; is this being explored by USDA?
