According to an aerial applicator, in August 2006, a truck driver filling diesel fuel tank near location that aerial applicator was loading chemicals (alleged to be DuPont Lannate) alleged that exposure to fumes had an adverse affect on his respiratory health. Truck driver is now pursuing lawsuit against aerial applicator. This incident was originally included in an aggregate report for the 3rd quarter 2006. The reported symptom from the truck driver in 2006 was "nausea". He was reportedly "taken to a hospital, was under observation, but as far as we know, no treatment was given and he got better." "Exposure to fumes had an adverse affect on his respiratory health".
