when you check out what the fine is for a gas spill from the EPA , the
fine thats being paid for the radios isnt even pocket change...they wont
sweat it and they are all company operated centers, none are
franchised... harv

Tell me about it..Pesticide trucks draw more attention for spill clean-up
and on-site license. I pride myself in compliance with that, mostly for the
applicator exposure. The LD-50 on most of the pesticides we use are at
least 3000 or higher, so you'd have to eat/drink massive amounts to kill
you.

Long term effect is bad typing.
