Ogilvie Dear Mr. Maurice, Let me say clearly that 2,4-D and dichlorprop herbicides are safe chemicals if used properly. It amazes me how some people can on the one hand freely suggest the use of chemical antidotes for hee stings or for poison ivy or not be troubled at all about exposure to phenolic compounds in poison ivy or other poisonous weeds and on the other hand be so emotionally fearful of 2,4-D or dichlorprop. These two herbicides are synthetic phenoxy These other dioxins can be many thousands of times less active than TCDD. The International Agency for Research on Cancer continues to update its information on pesticides and it does not regard the phenoxy herbicide 2,4-D to be a potential carcinogen. I think we can all agree that it is difficult to prove that any chemical (vitamins or whatever) is absolutely not carcinogenic. We hear recently that gasoline may be carcinogenic and researchers are trying to assess the risk of self serve gas stations. What is the risk to workmen who operate some engineer, and for the past 20 vears he was an employee of Parrish and Heimbecker Shipping.

After two or three days or after the first rainfall, dislodgable residues are 0.01 per cent or less. 2,4-D does not readily penetrate human skin and the small proportion that does enter the body is very quickly excreted in the urine in one or two days.

I do believe that herbicides are important chemical tools that can be used to reduce parkland and road maintenance costs and to improve road safety. The best approach is to have a program for advance monitoring of areas that may be sprayed. In this way it is possible to locate sensitive crops and landscape areas, water crossings, areas where spraying is not needed and areas where citizens will agree to control noxious weeds or otherwise problem vegetation themselves. If you have further questions, I will try to be helpful. Sincerely, G.R. Stephenson Professor Midland Nursery School Inc.
