Response and Recommendations concerning Pesticide Toxicity Report CPS2017-0510

CAPE argues that the City of Calgary's pesticide toxicity report fails to list specific toxic products used in its IPM program, ignores epidemiological evidence regarding adverse health outcomes for children and pregnant women, and over-relies on a flawed federal registration process administered by Health Canada's PMRA.

• The Pesticide Toxicity Report CPS2017-0510 fails to identify the specific pesticides used by the City of Calgary or rank them by toxicity, despite noting that 31 of 35 products used in 2016 fall into the second-highest risk category under Alberta regulations.
• The report lacks an account of health risks associated with pesticide exposure, omitting epidemiological research that links such exposures to adverse reproductive, neurological, and respiratory outcomes, particularly for newborns, children, and pregnant women.
