New Approaches for Controlling Pesticide Exposure in Children


IPM concentrates on removing the cause of insect pest infestations by reducing access to food, water, concealing places, and closing breaks and other opportunities in surfaces to prevent access of insects.
Their research appears in the ACS' publication Ecological Science & Technology.

Chensheng Lu and co-workers report previous research showing that city, low-income, multi family, community real estate residences are susceptible to severe insect attack problems. Family members in Birkenstock boston community real estate improvements, for instance, position insect attack, way to kill pests use and insect allergic reactions second only to criminal activity as matters of concern. In an effort to motivate use of IPM, which decreases dependency on conventional bug sprays, Lu's team analyzed contact with 19 bug sprays among children in 20 families in Boston's community real estate.
They found bug sprays in all of the houses, along with signs -- such as sighting of live insects or insect trash -- that conventional bug sprays were not effective. "The results from the current research, as well as other recent reports, performed in low-income community real estate, childcare facilities and arbitrarily selected houses in the U.S. should emphasize the need for alternative insect control programs," the report states. 

The writers recognize financing from the National Institution of Ecological Health Sciences.
