Aldicarb called 'relatively harmless' in Wisconsin wells
UW Madison soil scientist John Harkin urged policymakers not to overreact to aldicarb contamination in Wisconsin wells. He said the pesticide is among the least hazardous used locally, and new label changes plus management practices should curb groundwater leaching. He warned a ban would be a rash reaction.
