Ways of Prevention
Regulation:
- In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reviews all pesticides before the products are registered for sale to ensure that the benefits will outweigh the risks.
-Food Quality Protection Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act were passed in 1996 which required EPA to screen pesticide chemical for potential to produce harmful effects.
-Keep close track of the labeling when using a fertilizer, or pesticide. Try to look for products that will have less of an impact on the environment
- There are many federal and state laws protecting birds, animals and rare plants. But the first order of protection comes from us taking steps to avoid harm since we are the main source of all the toxins.
- Proper waste disposal
