Peter, was there mention of the level of exposure to any of the chemicals listed?   I will not hide my ignorance here and ask if someone could define "cell death" to me.  I think I have a broad understanding up it but how is it more or less relevant to a normal LD50 toxicology study?

I am also confused as to why anyone is thinking herbicides or fungicides are innocuous.  Both (in general) are hazardous and harmful to humans if inhaled or ingested and stuff like Glyphosate will kill a human if enough is ingested or inhaled.   I would assume there is resulting "cell death" as well regardless of whether its direct poisoning or suffocation from a respiratory attack.

Just curious if "cell death" is something to raise an eyebrow or if this is simply a fancy way of saying "does bad things to the tissue or organs of the host being tested".  Not trying to be obtuse just trying to glean a bit more info.
