| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the impacts of diazinon on wildlife and human health. Cites research and case studies illustrating the contamination of streams and rivers with diazinon. Emphasizes that diazinon harms fish, particularly salmon. "Diazinon's impacts on water quality and fish health in urban and rural areas give us a remarkable incentive to change the techniques used to manage pests in the Northwest." Also lists some non-chemical control methods for ants, aphids, crane flies and fleas. |
