No Tox Data Available —Inerts are chemicals used in pesticide products to make the pesticide more potent or easier to use. Solvents, surfactants, propellants and carriers are commonly used as inerts. The majority of inerts are toxic and biologically active. They can account for as much as 99.9 % of a pesticidal formulation. Toxicological data on the majority of inerts is not available and the majority are presumed to be industry’s toxic waste products. US EPA says that the public is not allowed to know the inerts used in specific pesticides. This prohibition is unscientific because it does not allow a full evaluation of a pesticide to be made by the public. It is also undemocractic. Why should the public be denied from knowing what is used on the food they eat or used in schools, homes, parks, etc.? |
