Dichlorvos exposure and human cancer risk: results from the Agricultural Health Study.Koutros S, Mahajan R, Zheng T, Hoppin JA, Ma X, Lynch CF, Blair A, Alavanja MC.

OBJECTIVES: We evaluated cancer risk from DDVP (2,2-Dichloroethenyl dimethylphosphate) exposure among pesticide applicators enrolled in the Agricultural Health Study (AHS) cohort. METHODS: The AHS is a cohort of 57,311 pesticide applicators in North Carolina and Iowa, enrolled from 1993 to 1997 and followed for cancer through 2004. A comprehensive questionnaire collected information on exposure to DDVP and potential confounders. Among the 49,762 licensed pesticide applicators eligible for analysis, 4,613 reported use of DDVP. DDVP exposure was classified as intensity-weighted cumulative exposure days (IWED), calculated as [years of use x days per year x intensity level]. Poisson regression analysis was used to calculate rate ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) to evaluate the association of DDVP exposure among 2,943 incident cases of cancer. RESULTS: DDVP exposure was not associated with any cancer studied here. We observed no elevation in risk among lymphohematopoietic cancers, RR = 1.00 (95% CI 0.51, 1.96) and a small excess risk associated with exposure among those with a family history of prostate cancer (RR = 1.18 (95% CI 0.73, 1.82). CONCLUSION: We find little evidence of an association between cumulative lifetime use of DDVP and risk of any cancer at this stage of follow up of the AHS.

Here is some info on this chemical as a carcinogin....

This chemical was proven to be a carcinogen in mice and rats when they were fed large amounts for up to 2 years....

However there have been no studies that show rats or mice will develop cancer thru inhalation....

The abstract above indicates its pretty safe.....

CONCLUSION: We find little evidence of an association between cumulative lifetime use of DDVP and risk of any cancer at this stage of follow up of the AHS.

I hope these were not used in grows ive received weed from in the past.

This stuff is not safe at all look at all those cases of cancer.

These people would also be using the liquid version of this chemical....not the sissy form in no pest strips.....

The active chemical (Dichlorvos) can be rinsed off and breaks-down in water but is dangerous insecticide and should NOT be used in living areas. (People growing in their homes with children, pets etc.)

Thats great but the vast majority of your post was made from either not reading or not understanding what you read....

Im sorry you got a little pissy about the response but IMO the drying process will get rid of all traces of the chemical without any effort by the grower.....

So maybe you should be more careful on the 'facts' you are throwing about.....

Read the rest of my posts in the thread, and others posts aswell. Thats why its a "thread" There are mulitple posts with information. You obviously didnt read the whole thread. This thread is full of information on how to use these things correctly. Why are you even posting if you dont have any relevent information? Are you just trying to argue? Maybe you should find someting else to do.

Im not arguing Im just able to read and comprehend what Im reading and YOU arent....

Your first post was clueless...

as was your last......

Its funny to say I dont have relevent info...

I posted from your links and posted a long term NIH study that proved my point....

So when you can post relevent info by someone who might have a clue...please post it....

<<"You might also be exposed to dichlorvos in home after pesticide application.>>

YOu might also be aware my clueless friend they arent talking about no pest strips....

People(clueless) like you should post about watering too much.....

not science.....

Are you saying I should read all of your dumb posts?????

Budley Doright · 08-14-2009, 05:03 AM

Regulatory Status: The EPA has classified it as toxicity class I - highly toxic, because it may cause cancer and there is only a small margin of safety for other effects. Products containing dichlorvos must bear the Signal Words DANGER - POISON. Dichlorvos is a Restricted Use Pesticide (RUP) and may be purchased and used only by certified applicators.

Certified applicators.... again.... this applies to the liquid variety.... not no pest strips.....

Lots of really crappy info all over this thread.....

Mr.Hades · 08-14-2009, 05:09 AM

Have fun arguing with yourself.

hahah

Budley Doright · 08-14-2009, 05:15 AM

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND PETS.

Harmless when used according to label directions. To avoid misuse, observe the
following precautions. Wash hands after handling. Do not use in areas where the chronically ill may be exposed or in occupied spaces of less
than 25 cubic metres. Certain tropical fish and caged birds may be harmed by continuous exposure to vapour. Do not use in areas where

beekeeping equipment and/or supplies are stored. Follow good sanitary practice by regular collection and disposal of dead insects.

Budley Doright · 08-14-2009, 05:26 AM

The label is very simple....

Do not use in areas that will be occupied for more than 4 hours per day....

Sounds like my grow room.....

Its probably not a good idea to eat raw weed either the buds or leaves without drying them first.....
