Hello -

In case you missed it: The Environmental Working Group, based in
Washington, D.C. has completed a five-year study, on organophosphate residues
in 80,000 food samples, and on risks those residues pose for children under
six years old. Conclusions are being questioned by "food growers and
chemical makers" according to the Los Angeles Times article. I believe the
EWG staff member I spoke to said they also have an article on related matters
in the February Scientific American. EWG's phone number is 202-667-6982.
