EPA Proposes Labeling to Control Pesticide Drift, Evaluates Petition
WASHINGTON, DC, November 4, 2009 (ENS) – Pesticide labeling to reduce off-target spray and dust drift was proposed today by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The agency is also requesting comment on a citizens' petition to evaluate children’s exposure to pesticide drift.
