A Brief History of Pesticide Legislation
By Kasper Halvey & Ariana Cao
Kasper Halvey, a student from Saint Francis High School, and Ariana Cao, a Student from Palo Alto High School wrote A Brief History of Pesticide Legislation. This paper traces the history of pesticide use and regulation, highlighting their harmful effects on the environment and human health. It discusses past efforts, like the banning of DDT, and recent proposals such as the Protect America’s Children from Toxic Pesticides Act (PACTPA). Despite political challenges, it suggests avenues for individuals and local governments to advocate for healthier pesticide practices.
