Yet, there have been no scientific health and environmental risk assessments and studies for both short and long term consequences to humans, animals, and the environment. At the April 1, 2008 City of Alameda Council meeting, California's Secretary of Department of Food Agriculture (CDFA), A.G. Kawamura, told Alameda's City Council that even if just crops alone were aerial sprayed with the LBAM product that the product label warns that there be no crop workers in the vicinity of the spray. Yet, CDFA keeps telling people the LBAM products are safe to spray over urban areas. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), CDFA, and the EPA have absolutely no credibility.
