I agree with Al. I can't imagine that being enforced effectively. Margie On Apr 6, 2011, at 8:09 AM, krf...@aol.com wrote: In a message dated 4/5/2011 8:25:44 P.M.

[UC] It is Round Up in Clark Park
I just spoke to the landscaping crew in the fenced off portion of Clark Park. The unknown chemical that is being sprayed on Clark Park, as I write this, is the herbicide, Round-Up. About two years ago, I witnessed the same procedure and reported the event to this public list. But the FOCP and UCD claimed that the only chemical EVER used on Clark Park was an organic fertilizer. But we know from the devastation and the early signs posted that they have been dumping this poison, twice a year, for about ten years. (Apparently, they must be telling the workmen to no longer put up the warning signs. The workman was blamed for putting out the signs by MISTAKE when I caught them two years ago!) I was called the usual names when I reported the incident. And we were all told that everyone outside the secret and anonymous Clark Park Partnership should never be believed regarding Clark Park. I'd estimate about 20 gallons of empty bottles were being cleared as I spoke to them. There is know way to know the total amount of the poison being used today. I watched the workman soak the tree roots of just 1 tree with a huge amount. Please go down immediately and ask the supervisor to confirm the name of this poison. I've been told that people no longer doubt me so much or believe the pack of lies like they once did. Nevertheless, I hope someone corroborates this important fact!

[UC] Round up in Scientific American
Some information on toxicity of Round Up. Research I did in the past also pointed to neurological effects. This literature review does not cover those studies but does discuss the link to environmental polloution and amphibian deaths Last month, an environmental group petitioned Argentina's Supreme Court, seeking a temporary ban on glyphosate use after an Argentine scientist and local activists reported a high incidence of birth defects and cancers in people living near crop-spraying areas. Scientists there also linked genetic malformations in amphibians to glysophate. In addition, last year in Sweden, a scientific team found that exposure is a risk factor for people developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=weed-whacking-herbicide-ppage=2 ...But some inert ingredients have been found to potentially affect human health. Many amplify the effects of active ingredients by helping them penetrate clothing, protective equipment and cell membranes, or by increasing their toxicity. For example, a Croatian team recently found that an herbicide formulation containing atrazine caused DNA damage, which can lead to cancer http://www.scientificamerican.com/topic.cfm?id=cancer, while atrazine alone did not... ...Glyphosate, POEA and all four Roundup formulations damaged all three cell types. Umbilical cord cells were especially sensitive to POEA. Glyphosate became more harmful when combined with POEA, and POEA alone was more deadly to cells than glyphosate. The research appears in the January issue of the journal Chemical Research in Toxicology.
