Research Finds No Health,
Environmental Risks With Use Of 2,4-D
CHICAGO, 111. Extensive
research confirms that the herbi
cide 2,4-D poses no significant
risk to farm workers’ health or to
the environment.
That conclusion, supported by
almost 270 studies conducted dur
ing the past six years, was pre
sented here at a day-long sympo
sium by members of an industry
task force.
“We have completed 90 percent
of the studies required by the EPA
for reregistration of 2,4-D, and
none of die studies suggest that the
chemical poses any significant
risk when used properly,” said
Don Page, executive director of
the Industry Task Force II on
2,4-D Research Data.
That’s good news for farmers,
turf and lawn care operators and
home owners, all of whom use the
inexpensive herbicide to control a
broad spectrum of broadleaf
weeds on crops such as com and
soybeans, as well as golf courses,
lawns, roadsides, and utility rights
of way..
The 50-year-old product is the
most frequently used herbicide
worldwide and remains the third
most popular herbicide in the
United States. Use in this country.
Page noted, is actually increasing
because of the herbicide’s grow-
