SALISBURY reminded me of the dangers of organo phosphate chemicals (OPs).
A 2017 French report, exploring the cognitive damage effects said, “OP exposure is estimated to cause 59,300 cases of intellectual disability in the EU, and 7,500 cases in the US … OP associated cognitive dysfunction was six-fold higher in the EU … three-fold higher in the US.”
Coming into the spraying season may we hope that at least glyphosate may be less used this year, (and the alternatives no worse) and reminded that not all alternatives to the EU may be worse!
