| Abstract/Contents: | Suggests that "as conducive growing conditions for turf and ornamental plants develop, the need and consequent use of pesticides including fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, and plant growth regulators typically increases." Provides potential methods for pesticide safety, including "read pesticide label carefully and completely"; "wear clean and personal protective equipment (PPE) listed on the label"; "wash hands often"; and "never use...hands to stir or to reach into a pesticide tank." Recommends having "all the information on hand before an accident occurs," including "phone number of Poison Control Center"; "name (common or active ingredient) of pesticide and manufacturer"; "time of exposure"; and "age and weight of victim." Concludes that "it is [one's] responsibility to carefully and comprehensively read and follow the pesticide label." |
