Abstract:
In October, the North Carolina Pesticide Board reviewed an evaluation of the state’s pesticide regulation program conducted by the North Carolina Center for Public Policy Research and watched a videotape on aerial application of pesticides, a primary target of the policy center’s criticism. The study concludes that the state needs to curb violations by crop dusters and exterminators, assess harsher fines on repeat violators, and achieve more balance on the boards that oversee pesticide use.
