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!
