could anyone send me sample risk assessment for the weed killer "round up" Is it less or more preferable to use sodium chlorate type weed killers?

Preferable in what sense? Roundup (glyphosate) is non-persistent and is inactivated on contact with soil, I think; sodium chlorate is persistent and, in storage, can contribute to a fire as it releases oxygen when heated. LB
