Human Health. The approval of the Medical Officer of Health for the use of aerial 1080 is based on the risk of acute intoxication of humans and is dependent on the assumption that strict safety procedures will always be followed. They often are not [40]. There are numerous cases of 1080 being dropped out of the intended area, of livestock and pets being killed, food contaminated, and similar events [40, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64]§. There is no official government accounting or compilation of all such accidents and incidents. Indeed, there is even evidence that there have sometimes been efforts to suppress public knowledge [40, 45]. People have occasionally been asked to misrepresent the reasons for damage payments [40, 65].
