I know that 2-4-D has been around for many, many years. 2-4-D is in
"Ortho's Weed-B-Gone" and other "over the counter" type brands of lawn
use
herbicides.
If you are going to compare 2-4-D to "Agent Orange" (2-4-5-T) then why
don't
you tell us what else they have in common besides the first two numbers?
What does 2-4-5-T have in it that 2-4-D does not? Why is 2-4-5-T banned
and
2-4-D not banned? 2-4-D and Agent Orange are not even close to each
other
and one should not be compared to each other.
