| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses pesticide regulations in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. States that "several environmental, public health and medical organizations...[are] redoubling their efforts [in] spring [2007] because it's an election year there." Explains that the groups are "courting candidates to come out against the so-called cosmetic use of pesticides to demonstrate their awareness and support of environmental issues." States that "representatives from at least five activist organizations met with provincial ministry officials in February [2007] to plead for a province-wide ban similar to the one in place in neighboring Quebec province...Industry associations representing lawn care product end users insist the anti-pesticide crusade is misguided and has no basis in fact." Suggests that "public policy should be based on sound science. A province-wide pesticide bylaw would remove, without any proper scientific foundation, the benefits provided by the science-based Health Canada regulation of pest control products." Concludes that "the agitation against lawn care products remains high in communities across Canada. [As of April 2007], more than 120 towns and cities have restricted or banned the use of pesticides for 'cosmetic purposes.'" |
