Dear neighbors, This is the very crucial disclaimer I found at the end of Synatek's product safety sheet for granular fertilizer. This is how the corporation can deceptively market these products as safe. They just say, buried in the details, none of it may be true!
UCD/FOCP should explain why it is making claims that this is safe? And why does UCD/FOCP disregard the importance of good notification prior to a lengthy drying period, 48 hours? Whether this one product used in the park is safe in the environment or not, following the minimum practises for public notification and safety is on UCD. That's pretty clear in this disclaimer too. (Remember, this is only the first product, which has been identified, in the "lawn care" being put in the park) It's not on the trugreen web site, this is a Material data safety sheet http://www.synateksolutions.com/MSDS/GreenGro%20MSDS%20Template.doc "DISCLAIMER The data presented herein is believed accurate for the specific material, but is in no way guaranteed. The information herein may not be applicable if this specific material is used in combination with other material(s). SynaTek assumes no liability and makes no warranty in connection with any use for this specific material. Other safety measures in addition to those indicated may be required. The user, therefore, assumes full responsibility, both as to persons and to property, for the safe use of these materials." Other issue: (Countering Siano's straw man: "TruGreen is the nation's largest lawn and landscape company, serving more than 2.5 million residential and commercial customers across the United States with lawn care, tree and shrub care, and landscaping services" I didn't record the citation, but I also remember seeing the figure, 70 million gallons used across the country. The basic info about Trugreen is readily verifiable with a simple search. It's prepostorous to suggest that I would try to convince Craig that millions of gallons were dumped on Clark Park! Siano's straw man is suggesting that I have some sinister purpose to discovering the truth and finally obtaining good information for all of us.) I've been taking a lot of personal abuse for pursuing information on these chemicals used for 6 or 7 years in Clark park. Siano's quote: Oh, I have to mention something that's very disturbing. Glenn has made wild and unsupported claims that "millions of gallons" of "poisons" are being dumped in the park, as a "corporate" effort to promote "neo-Victorian" values. I have not seen anyone demand that he support these claims with anything like proof. But when Tony tries to answer these wild accusations-- and we're researching the issue, trust me-- suddenly the people who swallowed Glenn's dishonest bile are demanding "facts and data." Well, we're trying, but they take time to assemble: Glenn has the luxury of throwing whatever he wants onto the list, relevant, documented, or not. ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
