Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 does anyone know of any court cases that were successful in getting someone not to use pesticides, solvent based cleaning supplies, or toxic maintenance supplies? I am trying to get Molly back in school. Her grade school is going to spray Round-up the first of June and Molly will not be able to attend school.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 In Hinsdale, Illinois there was a case about 6 years ago of a family who reportedly had a chemically sensitive son. Their name was the Flemmings. They filed suit against the Village to stop broad application of chemicals to village lawns and parks. The suit was settled with the development of an intergrated pesticide management plan and notification of applications. BOB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Thanks for the information. I am getting pretty anxious. The school is due to spray roundup the first of June and the end of July. I probably have very little chance to stop the spraying in June. So I am hoping to get it stopped before July. Molly is 10 and has been out of school since Dec 12, 2003. I also heard that just recently a university in Illinois discovered a link between weed killers and asthma. My daughter has been unconscious from asthma. Most impressive is that since Molly has been out of school we have only had one doctors appointment. Before, From august to Dec 12, when she was removed, she was sick almost every week.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Jeanne, American Academy of Pediatrics has a book titled " Handbook of Pediatric Environmental Health. " It is a great resource, and has quite a bit of information on pesticides. Hope this may help. Best Regards, Stacey Champion > > > > > Thanks for the information. > > I am getting pretty anxious.
