Larry Allan said: Cadmium or Caddy as it was labeled
PMAS or PMA10 mercury
Chlordane...had a nice minty smell
Calochlor...more mercury. Mixing it with milorganite in an enclosed plastic tent with no protective. The tent was meant to keep the Calochlor dust from blowing away
Merfusan...even more mercury
Lead arsenate....still have a 1 lbs bag on the shelf
The PMAS used to come in 1 gallon moonshine glass bottles. I know they were glass because one hit the floor when I tried to take it off shelf out in Kananaskis. The boss was greatly concerned with how much that jug cost. Very little concern about me being covered in it. Some good good sized blood blisters on exposed skin but other than that, I'm alive.
Lads, we are all lucky to be alive
After all the nasty stuff I was exposed to in the Coast Guard and now 20 years of golf course maintenance, well.......I've always tried to be careful except one time when The Hammer made me and the intern spread Nemacur late one afternoon in August. It must have been a million degrees inside that suit and we finally both agreed to take off our suits and finished the job (27 holes) in shorts and tee shirts.
Now, I've worn glasses since I was a young lad, but after that exposure, I didn't need my glasses for a week.
