Pesticide Spraying Stopped after Concerned Parents Mobilize

Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–October 23, 2013.  Ball State University, Indiana has cancelled plans to spray herbicides on the lawns around its K-12 school after objections from parents worried that it would expose their children to toxic chemicals. The university planned to use Trimec 992, a 2,4-D product, but a petition started by parents helped to put a stop to the weedkiller.
