Christmas trees are coated in toxic chemicals, like chlorothalonil, atrazine, glyphosate (aka Roundup) and dimethoate, all of which have known impacts on human health.

In #Oregon low levels of pesticides are commonly found in surface and drinking water. But this issue is understudied, so the dots are difficult to connect.
