I am seeking information as to the synergistic effects of the chemicals metsulfuron-methyl glyphosate triazines when aerialy sprayed particularly about the effect in spray drift, mist and fog as we were sprayed in these conditions. I have already asked this question and don't want to be charged twice as I am on very low income ( like way below half of poverty line. My brain is fuzzy and I did not notice that this program had deleted .au off my yahoo email address and so I am doing it all again. I did not confirm the yahoo.com account as I couldn't but Iam scarfed of being charged twice WHat do I do? |

I am searching for an answer for your first question. As for you second question, I suggest you'll check up the FAQ (https://answers.google.com/answers/faq.html) or contact answers-editors@google.com - they'll probably answer it better than anyone else (you probably have nothing to be worried about, but just ask them to be certain). |

In the United States, agricultural herbicides must pass certain safety tests to be licensed for use on crops. These tests include interacions with other common pesticides and herbicides. These three chemicals are currently used together on many grain crops. Glyphosate is considered the most dangerous of the three chemicals, and it does need to carry EPA class III "WARNING" labelling. Still, glyphosate (sold as RoundUp in Wal-Marts everywhere) is poorly absorbed by mammals, and generally is excreted unchanged. Metsulfuron requires high doses to cause any harmful effects beyond skin sensitivity, and triazines are found in trace amunts (and higher) in drinking water systems all over the country. In short, the concentrations present when you were aerially sprayed with these chemicals my be high enough to cause skin sensitivity and burning eyes, but there is probably no concern of synergistic interactions (each chemical acts very differently) or severe effects from acute exposure. When working with agricultural pesticides and herbicides, always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (your employer should provide this to you) and take proper precautions. ALWAYS read and understand the labels. For more information, please refer to the Extension Toxicology Network: http://ace.orst.edu/info/extoxnet/ -Liminal (not a doctor. watershed biologist in an agricultural area) |
