Clean waters provide healthy ecosystems for wildlife, plants and people.

An infant cannot detoxify pesticides as well as adults can. Take steps to minimize your child's exposure.

Risk depends on the toxicity of the pesticide and how much you and baby are exposed to while pregnant.

Some animals are more sensitive than others to certain pesticides. You can reduce the pesticide risk to your pet.
