Children are particularly vulnerable to the health effects associated with this pesticide including blurred vision, memory loss and damage to developing brains and nervous systems. However, federal laws offer no special precautions for schools. Different states have different requirements for signs or notification about school pesticide applications-but many states have none at all. Pesticides used in and around schools have caused some kids to get sick. June 2000 For more on Dursban and children, go to Kids Health and Consumers Union. For more on pesticides in schools, see a report from The National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides. ----- Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam. Em Hotep, Peace Be, All My Relations.
