| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses pesticide labeling, stating that "they are legally mandated by our national pesticide law, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act. The information that is found on a pesticide label is defined by law, and it is illegal to use a pesticide in a manner not permitted by its labeling." Describes how to find a pesticide label. Suggests questions to ask pesticide users to assure proper use, including "is the product registered for this use?...Is the product being applied at the label rate?...Is the application method acceptable?...Does the application contaminate water?...Does the application expose neighbors or other people?...Does the application follow worker protection guidelines?" Also states that "the goal of pesticide reform is to replace pesticide use with sustainable management practices. Progress towards this goal can come just from making sure that pesticide applications follow the law, a task for which careful and imaginative study of pesticide labels is essential." |
