Gyphosate (roundup) going under radar despite the lethal impacts of
amphibian larvae (ca 98% kill) from the surfactant used to get the
pesticide across the plant's cuticle.
Not supposed to be used near water courses but amphibians are in swampy
woods.
As naturalists, impacts on natural world are our major responsibility.
Physicians (royal...Ontario. .forget the association)  did take a stand
against recreational and household usage of pesticide on the basis of human
health risk. We can stand up for nature.
