Agent Blue – Arsenical herbicides containingĀ cacodylic acidĀ as an active ingredient are still used today asĀ weed-killers. In the US they are used extensively, fromĀ golfĀ courses to backyards. They are also sprayed onĀ cottonfields, drying out theĀ cotton plantsĀ before harvesting. So common — and so profitable — is the original commercial form of Agent Blue that it was among 10 toxicĀ insecticides,Ā fungicidesĀ and herbicides partially deregulated by the USĀ Environmental Protection AgencyĀ (EPA) in February 2004. Specific limits on toxic residues in meat, milk, poultry, and eggs were removed.
