| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses positions taken by a blue ribbon panel in Peachtree City, Georgia, on the use of pesticides on youth sports fields. Explains that "injuries caused by poor field conditions [represent] a greater risk than that from pesticide use." States that pesticides are valuable tools whose benefits far outweigh the risks and that Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is used to obtain maximum benefits with minimum risk. Mentions that a study is in the works to determine if children absorb pesticides into their systems from using sports fields. States that "the overall consensus at the conclusion of the session supported the measured approach of an IPM program to monitor and minimize use of federally approved pesticides applied by licensed technicians." |
