Pesticide Alternatives: Putting Children's Health First

The Corson & Johnson Law Firm is working with the Northwest Coalition for Alternatives to Pesticides to support legislation to put children's health first, by requiring the use of either non-toxic or least toxic products at schools, playgrounds, and parks. Currently, pesticides are used in many places where children go, like schools and playgrounds. Too often, parents and school officials assume that because a pesticide product is available, it must be safe. However, the Environmental Protection Agency has concluded children may face pesticide exposures that exceed the agency’s level of concern following even a single use of certain chemicals, even though the applications were made according to label directions.

About 80 parks in the Northwest are now pesticide-free, and it's a growing trend.
