Re: GBlist: Malathion



The PANNA (Pesticide Action Network North America) 
website has some excellent resources for information on most any 
pesticide you're likely to be interested in.  

	http://www.igc.apc.org/panna/information.html

from the main page, select the "Health and Environmental Impacts" 
link, the PESTIS database or the ExToxNet fact sheets should give you 
a good overview.

I would certainly take any reference to widespread aerial application 
of malathion as heing "harmlese" with a large grain of salt.

Hope this helps.  I would be interested in any followups about the 
spraying campaign.  Good luck!
