ed, thanks to a new formulation that dramatically reduces the pesticide's ability to drift off-site or travel through the air as vapor.
It has been no easy task. Researchers set up a high-tech laboratory spray booth where technicians have taken tens of thousands of measurements of droplets of 2,4-D to formulate a spray that is less able to drift on the wind.
Dow researchers also had the new 2,4-D tested in a state-of-the-art wind tunnel in Queensland, Australia, and measured air concentrations
