Kids are known to roll around on the ground in the yard and put things into their mouths and that's why the Care for Kids campaign is working to alert parents to the dangers of pesticides.
Young children are explorers.
They visit every single corner of the house, roll around on every single blade of grass in the yard and seem to put every single thing in their path into their mouths. These are the major concerns of Care for Kids, a new campaign spearheaded by actress Jane Seymour to alert parents to the potential health risks children face from potentially dangerous pesticides. And, he adds, there are a lot of unknowns about the long-term effects of many pesticide chemicals. Care for Kids is paying particular attention to organophosphate pesticides that use the active ingredients chlorpyrifos, widely known under the brand name Dursban, and diazinon. Under the guidance of the Environmental Protection Agency, both are being phased out, but existing supplies still are being sold and used.
