Were Doctors warned of Pesticide Spraying? Could you find out?

Hi,

I'm writing this to the NoSpray core ... We need your help immediately, as

we're moving into high gear around the City's greatly increased spraying

this summer.

1) Please contact your local pediatricians and other MDs and medical

personnel and ask if they received any health advisory pertaining to the

spraying of pesticides this year. (Not West Nile Virus per se, but to

pesticides.)

If they say they received one for pesticides, please ask them for a copy

of it. My bet is that no health advisory went out because there is no health

issue here as defined by the City. That would be essential in pursuing

legal remedies. Please do this within the next 24 hours.

2) We also need to pore over the 2011 NYC Comprehensive Mosquito Plan -- I

haven't seen the current version -- and compare it to older versions. Was

there an Environmental Impact Statement done, hearings held, etc.?

The above two prongs are in addition to -- and not a substitute for --

actions we plan to take, but they will help kick open the legal doors so we can

raise the other issues.

Thanx.

Mitchel
