| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses how "pesticides, when properly used, do not pose a significant health threat to the public, agricultural workers, pesticide control operators, and pesticide manufacturing workers." Describes the goals, policies, and priorities of the American Council on Science and Health (ACSH), and lists books and booklets published by ACSH. Discusses common pesticide myths, pesticides and human health, recent events which tend to raise questions about pesticides, and recommends that we "focus our attention on the leading preventable causes of premature death through extensive educational efforts." |
