Korein Tillery Takes Herbicide Atrazine Case to the Court of Public Opinion
Date:4/21/2009

ST. LOUIS, April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- For Steve Tillery of the law firm of Korein Tillery, the threat of the herbicide Atrazine to our environment and the health of every citizen of America is a cause he's ready to take on.

"We're calling on the manufacturers of Atrazine to protect the public and clean-up their mess," Tillery says. Tillery points to Syngenta, a company based in Basel, Switzerland who is the largest manufacturer of Atrazine (over 90%) in the world. Available data shows that Syngenta's reported revenue from herbicides, inc
