paper being present only in apple pollen.a --bcaec53f2e31b59f5604e3eef01b Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello Lance and others: One must keep in mind that the author quoted is American and thus his statement re "federal regulations" no doubt reflects the US situation which may or may not reflect the situation here in Canada. While US and Canadian regulations often have much in common, one cannot assume they are identical. In Canada, the Pest Management Regulatory Agency, under Health Canada, is responsible for regulating pesticide use in Canada.
