New Book Aims to Protect Children From Pesticides

Septmeber 15, 2005

UNIVERSITY PARK, A new book that illustrates the national problem of pesticide dependence and cost effective alternatives to traditional approaches to pest control is now available. "A Worm in the Teacher's Apple" was written by Dr. Marc L. Lame, an entomologist with years of experience implementing award winning Integrated Pest Management programs in schools nationwide. It highlights the actions of IPM supporters in schools and the regulatory community, the response of the pest control industry, and the non-action of those who are charged with protecting our children from pests and pesticides.

The material in this book is primarily intended for those concerned about children and the environment - parents, teachers, health care professionals, school officials (and other policy makers), regulators, children's environmental health advocates and pest management professionals. "A Worm in the Teacher's Apple" can be previewed/ordered directly at http://www.authorhouse.com/BookStore/ItemDetail.aspx?bookid=30222 or at bookstores nationwide (ISBN #1420839357).
