Getting Started

Hey Students,

Here are a couple of videos about one project that I found interesting.  It does not go into depth about the actual data collected but it is a place to start.  I encourage you to watch these videos, but find your own topic to research - there are a lot of other options.

The Department of Pesticide Regulation’s Air Quality Initiative


This department is giving a lot of effort to improve air quality in the USA. The initative targets air toxins, smogproducing chemicals from pesticide emissions, and focuses on four areas:

Reducing emissions from fumigants

remake other pesticide products to reduce emissions

Promoting new, more environmentally-friendly technologies

Developing strategic pest management partnerships in concern with industry


Their mission statement is "to protect human health and the environment by regulating pesticide sales and use, and by fostering reduced-risk pest mangement."


They've been doing this for at least 4 years.


My opinion on this initiative only reflect my personal thoughts. I think what they're doing is great and they're doing a fantastic job on running it. Slow yet effectively, they contributed a lot to make this world a better place. I think it's highly possible to implement into Canada, because it's not very hard to open this kind of department, and government would highly encourage such actions.
