Resources from Other Organizations

EPA Pesticide Analyses
The EPA does good analyses of the risks associated with a wide variety of pesticides.  They are available as Fact Sheets, or REDs or Preliminary/Final Risk Assessments. 

Environmental Working Group puts out reports critiquing the EPA's pesticide policies.  Current reports concern human testing, the "emergency use" gaping loophole, and risks to children.

Natural Resources Defense Council put out an excellent report called Trouble on the Farms about pesticide exposure to children of farmworkers and farmers. 

Beyond Pesticides/National Coalition Against Misuse of Pesticides 

Northwest Coalition of Alternatives to Pesticides
