This website is about synthetic herbicides. What i found interesting was the commonly asked question," How dangerous is an herbicide?" This is a very hard question to answer like the website said. Each herbicide is different and can be dangerous in its own way. There are so many different kinds of herbicides that the question is not a yes or no answer. "In truth, there is too little known about how the human body functions to determine long-term effects. In general, though, manufacturers and experienced applicators agree that exposure to herbicides should be minimized. Exposure while handling concentrates is one of the greatest dangers of dealing with an herbicide. If contact results in a skin rash or eye irritation, this is an indication of general toxicity. And it's known that this type of exposure can affect the tissues of the lung, liver, or kidney." I found this interesting because it talks about the human body and it is a good piece of information that can help my group with our "60 minutes" style interview.
