Pesticide Health Hazards

Quoting:
The environmental and health hazards of pesticides are well documented by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Studies on animals have shown that of the 34 chemicals encompassing 95% of lawn pesticides, 10 are carcinogens, 12 caused birth defects, 20 are neurotoxic, 7 alter the reproductive process, 13 caused liver or kidney damage, and 29 are sensitizers or irritants.
