When insecticides and agrochemicals in general got labeled as BIOCIDES, it was the first warning signal that our society was dumbing down at extreme pace.
When the sole mention of uranium or arsenic (in natural state) started to sound alarms for some guys who started to "look for the culprit for that dangerous chemicals to be present in the water...must be the mining industry!!!" [of a remote hydrothermal area and the water in question was surging just meters of a volcanic system]...that day i lost all my hope. Society is stupid...or science has a comunicational problem w/society...or it's just the whole human race is doomed to be stupid forever.
Fear....always fear....do you know a better control tool than fear?
