A lot of people value a bug-free home and weed-free, perfectly green lawn. While both of these are totally valid- new research shows that these desires may be effecting us and our children. Like almost everything in life, we need to balance what we want- with the cost.
Fact: According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, organophosphate pesticides (OP) are now found in the blood of 95% of Americans tested and levels are twice as high in blood samples taken from children than in adults. These pesticides are linked to hyperactivity, behavior disorders, learning disabilities, developmental delays and motor dysfunction.
Action: Use non-toxic methods to manage pests and weeds.
