/pol/ is now concerned about allowance of isocycloseram. It's called a 'Forever Chemical' in media. In this thread I ask experts to explain:
1. How 'forever' it actually is? There's no information on that point in Wikipedia.
2. What are possible negative effects of eating food treated with it?

Honestly the only safe pesticide I heard about is nicotine. And even that can kill bees and harm environment somehow.

tldr it breaks down under sunlight and the amount of residue left tends to halve about every year.chemicals are scaremongered to hell sometimes. the MAJORITY of pesticide articles on wikipedia are written by people who don't know shit about pesticides or industrial chemicals and it shows. They do things like copying down boiler-plate text that appears on every label, taking government warnings seriously ("IT'S A CLASS III EXTREMELY DANGEROUS MATERIAL oh that really just means if you ate it like a bowl of cornflakes you'd die, and also it would kill algae if you dumped it in the lake")Most of the pesticides in use are not that bad, (acutely) or they would use something less toxic. Paraquat/chlorpyrifos, e.g., are toxic, but not really bad. You'd still need to do something stupid to kill yourself. e.g. sodium fluoroacetate, is that bad. It's for poisoning foxes and mice and a 200 g jar of the pure stuff is enough for a fatal dose to 20,000 to 100,000 people. Literally hundreds of times more toxic.
But stuff like that is the exception (and it's used very rarely). I hear atrazine might causee hormonal effects and turn the frogs gay, even at trace amounts. Long term stuff like that is basically unknowable.
