Governmental
Watchdogging
Beyond
Pesticides serves as a watchdog for federal and state agencies, which
are institutionalizing "acceptable" levels of public exposure to harmful
pesticides known to cause chronic health effects, such as cancer, neurological
and immune system effects.
Beyond Pesticides continuously sends comments on pesticide policies to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), as well as, state and local agencies.
