Mmm, time to eat a big bowl of perfectly healthy oatmeal as I often do and check the news and oh god dammit

The supplemental table in the journal article gives some product-specific testing results, apparently I'm getting about 110-170 ppb of chlormequat in my Quaker Oats.

thank you president Biden

quote:

April 2023, in response to a 2019 application submitted by chlormequat manufacturer Taminco, the Biden EPA proposed allowing the first-ever use of chlormequat on barley, oat, triticale and wheat grown in the U.S.

One of my jobs as an agronomist was establishing native prairie grass plantings. We used herbicides to get rid of non-native plants, until the grass could fend for itself. One of the guys I worked with, a former golf landscape management tech, could tell all ten specialty herbicides we used by scent alone.

Just opening up a tank on a backpack sprayer, inhaling deeply, sitting back, and "hmm, woody, a little burned. Must be bromoxynil." magical.

Lol. I love that our consumer safety standard is "do you instantly drop dead or not". The rat LD50 is more than half a gram per kilogram so it's safe! What do you mean, sub-lethal effects from chronic exposure? We can't afford to test that!

I checked out one of the related videos to this and learned about the 100k+ barrels of DDT and what else dumped in the ocean off the coast of LA and how 25% of the sea lions have cancer which generally happens 0% of the time anywhere else there are sea lions.
