(Santa Fe, New Mexico<\/em>, February 11, 2021)\u2014New Mexico State Senator Brenda McKenna\u00a0 introduced the\u00a0Public Schools Pesticide Management Act (PSPMA) (SB 326)<\/a>\u00a0in order to protect school children from exposure to toxic pesticides where they learn and play. The legislation advances ecological pest management, an environmentally healthy way to protect children and the public from weeds and pests, within all schools, classrooms, community parks, and playgrounds in the state. Under PSPMA, only organic and minimum risk pesticides, the least toxic, yet still-effective products on the market will be allowed. Toxic pesticide use will be permitted only under a defined public health emergency, as determined by a public health official. The law does not address the use of pesticides in farming or agriculture.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAll children in New Mexico have the right to a safe environment where they learn and play,\u201d said State Senator Brenda McKenna. \u201cThis legislation embraces an environmentally healthy approach to pest management, so families do not have to worry about the use of toxic pesticides in schools and communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pesticide exposure presents unique dangers to children\u2019s health. Children\u2019s developing organ systems are less able to detoxify harmful chemicals, and they often come into closer contact with pesticides than adults in public spaces like parks and playgrounds. Peer-reviewed studies show pesticide exposure is linked to a wide range of childhood diseases.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of our main concerns in New Mexico is the widespread use of pesticide management which employs the use of glyphosate or roundup, now a proven carcinogen. It is used in products widely employed in public areas as well as acequias,\u201d said Eleanor Bravo of the New Mexico state group Common Ground Rising. \u201cExposure of children to toxic pesticides has been linked to attention and learning problems as well as cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no national systematic reporting on the use of pesticides by consumers or licensed professionals,\u201d Eleanor Bravo notes. \u201cThe New Mexico Pesticide Control Act was written in the ’50s and does not come close to managing the host of substances that are now employed.\u00a0 Our duty to our children must be paramount in our efforts to give them the best possible environment in which to grow.\u00a0 New Mexico is last in the country for child welfare.\u00a0 Let’s prioritize our children’s well-being by passing this important groundbreaking legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere have been many peer reviewed studies that show endocrine disruption from pesticides,\u201d said Elaine Cimino of Common Ground Rising. \u201cWe are seeing how this impacts children\u2019s hormonal growth. It is extremely important we provide healthy and safe environments for our children.\u201d<\/p>\n

“As the Mother of four school age children, I fully support switching to safer, non-toxic pest management, so our children have safe places to learn and play, said Anni Elwell Hanna, of New Mexico Climate Justice. \u201cThis would be a win for children, families and our communities.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency encourages states to implement safer pest management practices at schools, it is not mandatory, and New Mexico\u2019s current laws do little to stop children\u2019s exposure to toxic pesticides. The ecological pest management approach outlined within the PSPMA will effectively and economically replace the use of toxic pesticides with natural and sustainable pest management practices.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew Mexico is way past due in its efforts to protect our children from toxic chemicals,\u201d said Mary Ellen Capek of Philanthropy Research and Consulting. \u201cPSPMA will not only help us catch up with other states, this law will position NM as a national leader in efforts to prevent toxic chemicals from affecting children\u2019s growth and development. We have more than enough scientific data that document\u00a0 the damage these pesticides cause, and with the cooperation of the Department of Education, NM school districts will be able to create a wide reaching, comprehensive program that showcases the latest in nontoxic pesticide management and keeps our children healthy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the science on the dangers pesticides pose to children continues to accumulate, experience from states and communities across the country is showing that these chemicals are not necessary to maintain pest-free schools and playable turf fields in a cost-effective way,\u201d said Drew Toher, community resource and policy director at the national nonprofit Beyond Pesticides. \u201cWe thank Senator McKenna for introducing this important bill and urge passage by the state legislature.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senate Bill 326, the Public Schools Pesticide Management Act, will be heard before the following Committees: Senate Education, Senate Conservation and Senate Finance.<\/p>\n

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/","https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/"],"url":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28725","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28725"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28725\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28736,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28725\/revisions\/28736"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
