Kids worry about pesticides at school
British Columbia should be watching what California does once again. Change is coming due to growing concerns linking long-term pesticide exposure and increased risks of cancer, reproductive and developmental issues. California regulators are developing the first statewide restrictions on pesticide use near schools to protect children from potentially dangerous chemicals used to grow agricultural products. By the end of this year new rules will require growers to have buffer zones, notify parents and school administrators of nearby pesticide use or limit their use of certain application methods. Pesticide use near school zones isn’t just an isolated health risk, it’s been an ongoing environmental justice issue across the lower mainland of British Columbia. Taking steps to finally curb pesticide exposure at schools is a start! http://grist.org/list/california-kids-may-not-have-to-worry-about-pesticides-at-school-anymore/ Pesticides pesticides pesticides Go Green Pest Control Delta Pest Control Tsawwassen Pest Control Ladner Pest Control Randy Bilesky
