More specifically, the program seeks to educate the public about illegal and unregistered pesticides, develop strategies for the reduction of pesticide pollution by agricultural users and provide information about mosquito control. The program also provides pesticide information and presentations to public interest groups, academia, the regulated community, and the general public.
