ARE AQUATIC HERBICIDES SAFE TO USE?
In their concentrated form, all herbicides should be handled with great care. However, once diluted according to label instructions for application into an aquatic environment, herbicides labeled for aquatic use are considered safe by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Aquatic herbicides meet the most stringent safety standards under federal and state regulations; and, these herbicides permitted for use in water are not restricted use herbicides, which means they are far less toxic than herbicides used in most agricultural operations or even those pesticides used in the home.
