| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the "Cosmetic Pesticides Ban Act", a bill "intended to ban both the sale and use of pesticides for cosmetic purposes through amendments to the Pesticides Act." States that "specific exemptions to the use prohibition...include uses related to golf courses, as long as prescribed conditions have been met; uses related to agriculture; uses related to forestry; uses related to the promotion of public health or safety; and other uses prescribed in regulation." Explains that "included in the bill is the review of some 200 active ingredients...registered for use in Ontario [Canada] for lawn, garden and tree use. In spite of Health Canada's...announcement to re-register 2,4-D, the product remains on the list for non-use." States that "implementation and enforcement measures will focus on outreach and education efforts on the use of pesticide alternatives on lawns, gardens, parks and school yards...Enforcement will likely be a last resort." Concludes that "the goal of the government is to have the Bill passed and implemented by the spring of 2009." |
