• Spray Crew's Mistake Renews Call for City Ban On Chemical Herbicides

[Jenny Gerbasi] is now trying to lobby the Doer government to follow Quebec's lead and ban the cosmetic use of pesticides across the province. She also hopes Winnipeg will toughen its existing regulations on its own. Gerbasi blames the Balmoral Street pesticide error on a loss of institutional memory among a public service that's gone through cutbacks. But Jeff Swereda, who co-ordinates the city's integrated pest-management team, said it was a simple mistake, as the Great-West Life property looks a lot like a city boulevard. Gerbasi and [Brian Layte] say the city should explore non-chemical means of controlling weeds, but Swereda said that isn't practical on a large scale. Applying the broad-leaf pest-control cocktail of 2,4-D, Mecoprop and Dicamba is far more cost-effective than hand-w...

• Soaked in 2,4-D: Dousing Lawns with a Risky Herbicide

Sixty years after it was first introduced, the safety of 2,4-D, one of the most widely used herbicides in the world, remains suspect. Although the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has not classified 2,4-D as a likely human carcinogen, the agency did express "concern about its endocrine-disrupting potential" in its latest review of the herbicide ingredient. Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency isn't convinced it's a carcinogen either. But its new interim measures for products containing 2,4-D contain stricter stipulations on its use and the PMRA wants data on the chemical's micro-contaminants before a final decision on all uses is made in accordance with Canada's new Pest Control Products Act.
