Many commonly used chemicals by homeowners and gardeners may cause serious health effects in children, adults, and pets. Many of these chemicals also runoff gardens and yards into rivers, streams, lakes, and the Bay. In this virtual presentation, you will hear the latest science on how common pesticides impact health, children's unique vulnerability, and steps that families can take to reduce pesticide exposures.
