I've heard reports that it damages beneficial insects (which presumably
include bees), and is associated with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. I'm extremely
suspicious of vague claims that a chemical 'breaks down' without telling me
what it breaks down to. I did read somwhere that it broke down to dioxins. I
can't verify any of this; does anyone know more?
