Ignoring Adjuvant Toxicity Falsifies the Safety Profile of Commercial Pesticides
Frontiers in Public Health, 2018 Commercial formulations of pesticides are invariably not single ingredients. Instead they are cocktails of chemicals, composed of a designated pesticidal “active principle” and “other ingredients,” with the latter collectively also known as “adjuvants ...
