How Safe Are Herbicides?

Safer than you think.

The gossip and myths surrounding herbicides give off the wrong impression. At Pineview, safety is #1. Always. So why would we use products that put us in danger? Silly question.

So when you see us on your work sites without a hazmat suit on, it’s because we don’t need one :) We have to use these chemicals everyday–why risk it?
Toxicity Levesl (LD50 mg/kg)
This table really puts it in perspective.

The LD50 (the lower amount of mg/kg, the more dangerous the toxic agent is) of gasoline is 80x more toxic than the 3 main herbicides Pineview is spraying on your work site. EIGHTY times. Ever think about gloving up at the gas station?
