I should clarify something, that has slipped my mind:

My concern is not in regards to human consumption of trace pesticides but rather focused on the impact that such pesticide residues have on the soil biota and their ability to populate. Without thriving bacterial populations an organic system fails as the soil food web remains incomplete or greatly hindered.

Perhaps that clarification will help you understand more clearly why I'm willing to speak out against it's usage.
