89.6% IS THE AMOUNT OF PESIDICE REMAINING 122 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION
89.6% of initial concentration, that’s the level of pesticide, found remaining after 122 days from treatment. Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology. 29 March 2019
Can this be fixed? Yes, decontamination and detoxification is actually easy and inexpensive using ACD, 1st Place Science’s aqueous chlorine dioxide. Mist spray and leave to dry. You’re done.
Is residue dangerous? What do you think? What will government policy makers think?
Will toxic pesticide use be outlawed?
Will toxic pesticide be permitted for agriculture but not residential or commercial use?
Will special taxes be assessed for those that use toxic chemicals to defray the health and environmental costs?
All or any combination of the above could be on the horizon.
But no one will consider limiting or banning non-toxic pest control products
especially when they’ve been proven to work.
And those that decontaminate and detoxify and then use Toxic Free formulas as part of their professional protocols will be the heroes that everyone wants to hire!
In the meantime, here’s what manufacturer’s say about their own toxic products. (source: SDS forms)
- Considered hazardous
- Acute toxicity
- Do Not breathe
- Use only outdoors…. (but plenty used inside)
- Very toxic to aquatic life
- Keep people and animals away….(but this isn’t done either)
- Danger, Poison, Corrosive
- Fatal if swallowed
- Can cause headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, excessive sweating, salivation and tearing,
- constricted pupils, blurred vision, tightness in chest, weakness, muscle twitching and confusion
- Unconsciousness, convulsions, severe respiratory depression and death
- Immediate health hazard
- Highly flammable
- Keep away from food stuffs, beverages and feed
- Immediately remove contaminated clothing
- Causes damage to organs
- Toxic if inhaled
- Eye irritation, rinse thoroughly, can cause blindness
And here’s what the academic and scientific community says about what these hazards DO to people.
“Charge Report” among the most famous as it provided the first well substantiated link between pesticide neuro toxins, naming the Four Horseman, and children’s autism and other sicknesses.

There are hundreds of links to studies explaining that pesticides are linked to and cause many human diseases and life time disability.
Decontamination and Detoxification with the application of 1st Place Science’s aqueous chlorine dioxide removes up to 80 % of residue pesticides. It leaves no toxic residue because mode of operation is completed by the mechanical molecular destruction of the pesticide molecules.
What is left is a residue that harmlessly evaporates Science Direct reports in “Food Control Volume 40, June 2014, Pages 106-112.
Further studies show that pro-active Decontamination and Detoxification is superior to allowing natural decomposition.
Studies show that “some by-products are more toxic than their parent components.” Fenner, K., Canonica, S., Wackett, L.P. and Elsner, M. Evaluating pesticide degradation in the environment: blind spots and emerg
