Summary
This study tested a 7-month program to reduce pesticide exposure in 85 California child care centers serving preschool children. The program used integrated pest management (IPM) techniques, like sealing cracks and using bait stations instead of sprays. Researchers measured pesticide levels in carpet dust and children's wristbands, and found that the program helped lower exposure and improve pest control practices.
