(CP) — A Russian study has raised new evidence of the dangers of the controversial her- hiclde 2,4-D, says the South Okanagan Environmental Coalition. John Warnock, coalition Tesearch director, said Wednesday that the study by the institute of rurl hygiene of the Soviet health ministry . examined the effects of both ‘2,4-D and its primary break- down product, the chemical 2,4-tichlorophenol. Warnock said the study is important because it tests the chemicals in com- bination and at levels similar to those found in Okanagan lakes, where 2,4-D 1s used to combat Eurasian milfoil, a tenacious, fast-growing water weed. The result lends credence to speculation that 2,4-D ma cause birth defects, he sald. he added.
