Current Pesticides News Events, Discoveries and Articles
Amphibians as environmental omen disputed
Amphibians, for years considered a leading indicator of environmental degradation, are not uniquely susceptible to pollution, according to a meta-analysis to be published in Ecology Letters. (2009-11-12)
An inexpensive 'dipstick' test for pesticides in foods
