2 interesting things in this article on 2,4-D.
1) "2,4-Dis a commonly used herbicide that is approved for use by government regulatory agencies in over 90 countries. Tweet: What is 2,4-D? 2,4-D is a common herbicide approved for use by gov't regulatory agencies in 90+ countries. Learn more
http://bit.ly/1TJjiW5 2,4-D is both the world's most studied herbicide and the world's most researched chemical in history - over 4,000 studies have been conducted in the past 60 years."
2) 2,4-D IS NOT Agent Orange. The EPA calls equating 2,4-D to Agent Orange an urban myth. Agent Orange is 2,4,5-T
I checked the Weed-b-gone I just purchased and it does include 2,4-D. Makes sense as it kills broadleaf weeds but not grass.
As with most pesticides & herbicides, if used per instructions it is safe. The problem is that some people think, "if a teaspoon in a gallon of water is good then a cup in a gallon will be great."
