By Dr. Margaret Sanbord, Dr. Donald Cole, Dr. Kathleen Kerr, Dr. Cathy Vakil, Dr. Luz Helena Sanin, Dr. Kate Bassil. available at: http://www.ocfp.on.ca/english/ocfp/communications/publications/default.asp?s=1#EnvironmentHealth
Pesticides and Human Health
This is an essential resource for physicians and other health providers for understanding the chronic health impacts of pesticides.
Written by Gina Solomon, M.D., M.P.H., Oladele Ogunseitan, Ph.D., M.P.H., and Jan Kirsch, M.D., M.P.H. — and reviewed by nine health professionals — this extensive review study, culled exclusively from peer-reviewed published medical data, delivers a sobering and overwhelming diagnosis that public health institutions, regulators and policymakers are largely unaware of pesticides’ many deleterious effects.

* Imidacloprid is a chlorinated nicotinoid compound, that affects the nervous system.
* Imidacloprid is very toxic to earth worms and bees and is restricted in France because of plummeting bee populations.
* Imidacloprid kills parasitic wasps that control grub larvae. This is counter-productive, setting the stage for repeated, more extensive infestations.
* Imidacloprid is applied to seeds because it acts as a bird repellent. Birds such as starlings and robins eat very large numbers of grubs. Repelling this important natural control would be counter-productive.
* The label stipulates that food crops cannot be planted for a year after imidacloprid application. Thus, two growing seasons would have elapsed before harvest. It is not being proposed that our children be afforded the protection of two growing seasons before exposure to turf that has been treated with imidacloprid.
