Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the human health effect associated with dicamba residue on asparagus and soybeans in the United States. Generalizations are made in regards to dicamba consumption and its lack of toxicity toward human health. ADD, ADI, HQ, and LADD calculations were conducted using asparagus and soybeans as case studies. The researcher concluded that no human health effect is present when consuming the preceding food products. The researcher cannot claim complete accuracy of the calculations included herewith, and although generalizations can be made, using other notable cast studies, results may vary.
dicamba (2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoic acid) is a benzoic acid herbicide. It is typically applied to leaves or to the soil to control annual and perennial broadleaf weeds. It is also used to control brush and bracken in pastures (Kegley et al., 2007). dicamba is an acid which forms salts in aqueous solutions. It was first registered in the United States in 1967 and is widely used in agricultural, industrial, and residential settings.
