Climate Change Chemical insecticides are a useful tool in the control of insect pests but they are not the only method available. The home-owner has a number of biological and cultural options that, from an environmental and health viewpoint, are more attractive. A rigorously followed pest management program around the home and garden will hold pest populations at a level where pesticides will seldom be required and then only as a last resort. The phrase "pest management" is intended to convey the concept of managing pest populations rather than controlling them. Pest management is a systematic approach to keeping pest populations below the economic/aesthetic injury level. It demands some knowledge of insect life histories and the influence of the physical environment on pest reproduction, survival, and distribution. Much of this information is available from both provincial and federal agriculture departments. Non-chemical pest control should be used, particularly as the initial step. The following list of common home and garden pests and corresponding control methods could form the basis of your own pest management program.

Resources Chemicals In the early days of the European Community it was recognised that there was a need to protect the Community's environment and to create common standards to protect consumers in order to ensure the free circulation of goods among the Member States. For this reason, the first Community environment legislation dealt with products, amongst them dangerous chemicals. However, in recent years, drawbacks of the current system have been identified and examined. The most important of these are: 100.106 existing substances can be used without testing burden of proof on public authorities no efficient instrument to ensure safe use of the most problematic substances lack of incentives for innovation, in particular of less hazardous substitutes The White Paper on the Strategy for a future Chemicals policy , adopted on 13 February 2001, addresses the shortcomings of the current system. The REACH proposal was adopted by the Commission on 29 October 2003.

Pesticides Pesticides are among the most widely used chemicals in the world, and also among the most dangerous to human health. They are a leading cause of poisonings here in Canada and have been estimated to account for thousands deaths each year globally. Pesticides can also have chronic health effects both as sequelae of acute poisonings and from chronic exposure. Many studies have documented adverse health effects on humans. There are several areas of concern. Many of the commonly used household insecticides are organophosphates. These have been linked in many studies to neurological damage in humans. In fact, chlorpyrifos, a pesticide from this class, was recently banned by the EPA in the US a recent review of the science demonstrated that children have been routinely exposed to unsafe levels. There is also convincing evidence that pesticides play a role in human cancers. For example, epidemiologic studies have linked exposure to insecticides in the home to development of brain cancer and leukemia in children. Studies have also documented reproductive abnormalities such as an increased rate of miscarriage in people with chronic exposure to pesticides.

Appendices A Schools Responding to the Survey B Some Pesticides Reported Used C Some Sources of Information about Integrated Pest Management NOTE: In 1993, this report was recognized by the New York State Library Association's Government Information Roundtable, with its "Notable Documents Award." The Roundtable commended the Attorney General's Office for an exemplary awareness of the need to provide access to information vital to the public." INTRODUCTION Pesticides, a diverse group of toxic chemicals, are widely used in agricultural production, in factories and offices, in homes and restaurants, and in schools. Schools, with their kitchens and cafeterias, athletic fields and playgrounds, classrooms and offices, are regularly treated with a variety of pesticides. An increasing body of scientific data on the potentially harmful effects of pesticide exposure on people and the environment rightfully raises concern about the broad use of these toxic substances. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, "All pesticides are toxic to some degree. This means they can pose some risk to you, to your children and pets...." The commonplace, widespread use of pesticides is both a major environmental problem and a public health issue.

Explanation of Regulations and Advisories for Selected Chemicals Used As Inerts The Secret Hazards of Pesticides: Inert Ingredients Look at any label on a pesticide product and you will find a list of "active" ingredients, with a few long chemical names, and then typically the phrase "inert ingredients," with only a single percentage figure given and no listing of individual ingredients. The active ingredients are the chemicals used to control the target pest and must be listed on the label. The so-called "inert" ingredients are used as carriers for the active ingredients, to help dissolve them, make them easier to apply or to preserve them. Inerts usually make up at least half if not most of consumer pesticide products. For instance, 99.1 percent of Raid's Ant and Roach Killer is inert ingredients and Ortho Diazinon Dust is 96 percent inerts. Of the 85 pesticide products examined by the Attorney General's office, 75 percent contained over 90 percent inert ingredients (see

Children are also at special risk, since they are closer to the ground where pesticides settle. Some pesticides are neurotoxic, others are carcinogenic, and still others act like human hormones once they enter our bodies." "Children are more affected by exposure to such chemicals because they are smaller and because their major organs such as the liver and kidneys are not mature, and still growing."
