What to do Remove overwintering brassica plants as soon as they have finished cropping. This should be done by mid-spring. Bury plant debris deep in a compost pile, or in a compost trench. Examine young plants regularly from early summer to fall and squash any colonies of eggs or young. Pesticides Insecticidal soap pyrethrum plant oils and starch-based sprays. 

What to do Encourage natural predators. Do not overfeed plants. Pesticides Insecticidal soap plant oils. 

What to do Check plants regularly, especially the stems and the undersides of the leaves, for the presence of scale. Where an Infestation Is light, individual scales can be removed easily with a fingernail or a cotton swab. Pesticides Insecticidal soap plant-oil-based products.

Other heterocyclics serve as pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, and rodenticides. Other important practical applications include dyestuffs, copolymers, solvents, photographic sensitizers and developers, and antioxidants and vulcanization accelerators in the rubber industry. Many heterocycles are valuable intermediates in synthesis. 

Some of the other contaminants/toxins being monitored by immunoassays include pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, hormones, antibiotics, etc. (see Table 1, (106-116)). More information in these areas can be had from numerous books and review articles (5,10-13). 

The majority, or as much as 70-90%, of human cancers have been associated with environmental causes ( 1, 2) Our environment is complex. Cancer causes are often misunderstood and misconstrued as consisting primarily of ubiquitous chemicals due to modern technology and industrial development. It is true that a number of food additives, pesticides, insecticides and industrial chemicals introduced commercially in the last 40 years have exhibited carcinogenic properties in animal models ( 3). However, most of the main human cancers in the Western world do not stem from such chemical contaminants. It is, therefore, important to identify the actual causes of cancer in developing an effective basis for cancer prevention.

My young son s health was damaged by chemicals (in particular pesticides, insecticides and herbicides) and he was affected both mentally and physically. As an infant James had a major exposure to pesticides and he had severe reaction to vaccinations when he was four months old. Also, we had a flea plague here and our home was sprayed. He became very ill. When he was eighteen months old our home was renovated and painted with the normal toxic paint products. He continued to have exposures at school. I had no idea they were fogging the trees and around the classrooms with pesticides. At school he was also exposed to toxic paint products and cleaning products, chemical deodorizers in the toilets and chemically perfumed products on the staff and children. 

Various triggers can cause MCS to develop. At the moment, the best-known causes are long-term (over many years) exposure to a cocktail of various, often low doses of chemical substances and/or a one-time exposure to a high dose of chemical substances, such as formaldehyde, solvents, pesticides, insecticides, toluene, liquid narcotics and other chemical substances. Two examples are 9/11 rescue workers and GulfWar veterans. 

What are the environmental effects of this heavy use of pesticides (insecticides and herbicides) After heavy rains on the island, large numbers of dead fish have been found in the ocean, and washed up on the shore near the potato farms. The suspected cause is the leaching of sodium arsenite and other pesticides used in the potato fields. Sodium arsenate is a chemical used to kill both weeds and insects. If the poisoning of the ocean waters continues, Prince Edward Island s unique seafood industry will come to an end.
