I wasn't referring to EPA-required trials, I was referring to studies such
as Fine's.
I'm in complete agreement with you on the problem with EPA's non
requirement for the testing of formulated products, tank mixes, or added
adjuvants (although they actually do sometimes require such data, as in the
case of formulated Roundup). The regulators in some other countries are
ahead of the EPA.
Regulatory agencies are slowly improving their testing requirements, which
is a very good thing. But being government, such progress moves slowly,
and takes continual pressure from voters to keep it moving, especially with
our new Executive Branch.
