Free Pesticides of Solvents

Vapor intrusion is a serious concern for all communities, and it can rear an ugly head long after we think that toxic chemicals have gone away. See the following link retrieved on date from:

Very little is known about vapor intrusion. We do not have reliable NOELs and there are many solvents which have not been studied at all.

There are no technical considerations in the 21st century to continue with solvents as carriers for pesticides, and we should insist on aqueous formulations.
