New Online Video Discusses Pesticides and Indoor Air Quality

Oct. 30, 2011 - PRLog -- Today, the IAQ Video Network and Cochrane & Associates announced the release of another online video to help educate the public about issues that may impact their health.  The latest educational video discusses the threat to human health due to pesticide exposures in indoor environments.

According to a survey, 75 percent of U.S. households used at least one pesticide product indoors during the past year. Products used most often include insecticides and disinfectants. Another study suggests that 80 percent of most people's exposure to pesticides occurs indoors and that measurable levels of up to a dozen pesticides have been found in the air inside homes.

“In 1990, the American Association of Poison Control Centers reported that some 79,000 children were involved in common household pesticide poisonings or exposures,” reported Paul Cochrane, President of Cochrane and Associates, the company behind the IAQ Video Network and the new public outreach video.  “In households with children under five years old, almost one-half stored at least one pesticide product within reach of children.  We hope this video helps to educate people about the dangers of improper pesticide use and storage to help keep people safe in their homes, schools and places of business.”
