Amenity spraying of pesticides-are the new regulations working?

摘要

Information that has been supplied to the Pesticide Action Network UK by the public over the course of the 2013 spraying season would seem to indicate that the new regulation is being ignored and that best practise guidelines are not being adhered to by some in the amenity spraying industry. Blanket spraying of herbicides, often carried out by operators using hand lances whilst travelling on quad bikes along pavements, presents many potential problems that can pose problems for people and the environment.
