Pesticide exposure refers to coming into contact with chemicals meant to kill insects and weeds. UCSF is conducting research to help family child care directors learn safer pest management techniques. This research focuses on reducing chemical risks in child care settings.
Reporting Back Pesticide Results to Family Child Care Home Directors
open to eligible people ages 18-80
Child Care Health Consultants will provide an integrated pest management (IPM) intervention for ~30 family child care home directors. The intervention will include an educational component, collecting carpet dust samples, reporting back the pesticides identified in the carpet, and 7-monthly consultations to identify ways to reduce their exposure to pesticides and lower their long term health risks.
