Out of concern for those (I'm assuming contract workers) assigned the task of crop dusting aircraft interiors with the latest and greatest solution to all of mankind's problems, I wanted to relay the following information from http://cru66.cahe.wsu.edu/~picol/pdf/WA/69352.pdf regarding SW2.
Hopefully the lawn pesticide warning of, "keep off until dry" is applicable and after drying it poses no threat to passengers and crewmembers. I would also hope that those spraying would be adequately protected. In this video (which I assume is a simulation not requiring eyeware) the person spraying is not wearing protective eyeware: https://player.vimeo.com/video/451205812?autoplay=1;color=9da6ab&title=0&byline=0
Please be careful out there!
Here's an excerpt from the pdf:

Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum or using the toilet. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
FOR INTERIOR USE ONLY. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS: This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic organisms. FIRST AID: If Inhaled: Move person to fresh air. If person in not breathing, call 911 or ambulance, then give artificial respiration, preferably by mouth-to-mouth, if possible. Call a Poison Control Center or doctor for treatment advice.
