Commercial pesticides: Not as safe as they seem. This is the first comprehensive review of gaps in risk assessments for adjuvants in pesticide formulations which are not currently subject to safety assessments.

The review suggests that new regulations are needed to protect people and the environment from toxic pesticide ingredients. Source 3r.
