Pesticides are in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the flowers we touch and the sea we swim in. This consumer guide to pesticides highlights the dangers and provides guidelines for safe living. Aimed at the layman, the book is divided into two sections. The first part of the book answers the most commonly asked questions on pesticides. This is followed by a guide to pesticides and food safety. Presented in the form of a table, this section lists the 50 key food groups (dairy products, root vegetables, soft fruits, etc), pinpointing the pesticides that can be found on or in them. The section outlines those most likely to cause harm and offers suggestions for alternatives.
