Abstract/Contents:Emphasizes the importance of pesticide awareness and usage at public parks and golf courses. States that "the general public has the perception that sport uses vast quantities of hazardous chemicals." Suggests that local authorities need to be more aware of the type and amount of pesticides used on sport turf and at public parks. Highlights a policy established by the STRI and various sport clubs giving strict restrictions about pesticide policies. States that "the policy seems to have been very successful, despite early concerns from the clubs. There will need to be a review of the policy, particularly the thresholds, to ensure current legislation and a degree of fairness is maintained."
