Safety Assessment of Insecticides Used to Control Mosquitoes
ثبت نشده
چکیده
To evaluate the safety of insecticides used by the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District (MMCD), we reviewed documents from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), articles from scientific journals, and research reports. To determine the insecticides used for mosquito control in other jurisdictions, we examined Minnesota Department of Agriculture municipal insecticide control data and we conducted telephone interviews with representatives of state agencies and mosquito control districts in other states.
