Why worry?
There is no long-term impact data on ProcellaCOR EC. It was EPA registered in 2018 and has only been used for 4 years in Vermont. It takes time for ecological and human health risks and water quality issues to be revealed. (Think about DDT and chlordane — two chemicals that were widely used and later banned.)

What the manufacturer’s label says:
Active ingredient: Florpyrauxifen-benzyl 2.7%
Other ingredients (we don’t know): 97.3%!
Herbicide treatment of aquatic weeds can result in oxygen depletion which may cause fish suffocation.
Repeated treatment leads to resistant weed biotypes.
Do not compost any treated plant material. Do not allow livestock to drink treated water. Do not use it for irrigation. If it targets only milfoil, why are there these restrictions?
It kills Coontail (a native plant found in 25% of Bomoseen’s surveyed points). This has been confirmed in VT & the Midwest. Why are we killing native plants?
