Ideas for Educational (on pesticides and chemicals) tools/kits for
parents
I have an idea. Why don't you guys post an educational packet for parents
to take to their schools regarding pesticides, and indoor air quality. I would
be willing to work with you with the information we have found to be successful
in Missouri. For instance the Mt. Sinai Medical School Press release that
states pesticides are KNOWN to cause ADD, Autism, etc. Also information from
the Children's Protection Division of EPA that states pesticides cause reduced
intellect. The President's executive order for childrens environmental safety
would be good too. I was told the Children's EPA was updating their web site
and were going to post the Neurotoxicity Congressional report. This is very
powerful too.
Also information from the AMA and ALA that states perfumes are
asthma triggers and the 1991 EPA report of the 20 most common chemicals in
fragrances. Info on where the schools can get the Tools for Schools kit for
free. This will give parents the tools they need to get started
in their area and would also provide education to parents just learning of
household/school environmental hazards.
