Pesticide Poisoning Prevention Working Group
The Working Group is organized to address specific issues related to pesticide poisonings in both occupational and non-occupational settings and to design and implement activities aimed at reducing the risks of pesticide exposures within Florida. The Working Group is comprised of leading professionals from state agencies, academia, farm advocacy groups, legal services groups and other farm worker service providers. The Work Group objectives falls under three broad categories: education, reporting, and intervention.
