Dear Mr. Helliker,  I thought you might be interested in the following article entitled: EPA ANNOUNCES INDUSTRY-WIDE TASK FORCE TO JOINTLY DEVELOP INDOOR RESIDENTIAL EXPOSURE DATA FOR SYNTHETIC PYRETHROIDS, PYRETHRUM AND SYNERGISTS.

EPA has issued a Pesticide Registration Notice (PRN/Notice) that announces an industry-wide task force to jointly develop residential indoor exposure data for pesticides containing one or more of the active ingredients: synthetic pyrethroids, pyrethrum and synergists.  This Notice explains why these data are being developed and how registrants may wish to participate in developing these data by joining the Task Force.  This action is directed to the companies or persons responsible for registering or reregistering pesticide products containing one or more of the active ingredients, or companies seeking registration of  pesticide products containing one or more of the active ingredients.  The Federal Register published a Notice of Availability of this PRN on August 30, 2000, which identifies an EPA contact and Task Force contacts for those who need further information.  You may obtain electronic copies of the Notice of Availability and the PR Notice from the Office of Pesticide Programs' Home Page at http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/.  You may also go directly to the listings from the EPA Internet Home Page at http://www.epa.gov/.  To access this document, on the Home Page select "Laws and Regulations" and then look up the entry for this document under the "Federal Register--Environmental Documents."  You can also go directly to the Federal Register listings at:- http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/.  You can request a faxed copy of the PR Notice titled "The Non-Dietary Exposure Task Force," by calling 202-401-0527, and selecting item 6131, or by  following the automated menu.

Well Mr. Helliker, I think "they" will find there are certain esters of pyrethrum that when triggered with pipernoyl butoxide are extremely dangerous to man. Several countries already know the synergistic dangers of pipernoyl butoxide - but, you have "registered" many other POISONS that are or have been banned only after these terrible TOXINS have CONTAMINATED the earth and harmed us!
