Overview. Gastric intubation via the nasal passage (ie, nasogastric route) is a common procedure that provides access to the stomach for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
The impact of pesticides consists of the effects of pesticides on non-target species. Pesticides are chemical preparations used to kill fungal or animal pests. Over 98% of sprayed insecticides and 95% of herbicides reach a destination other than their target species, because they are sprayed or spread across entire agricultural fields.
Ensuring Safe Pesticide Use The goal of Californiaâs pesticide regulatory program is to protect people and the environment from harm that could be caused by unsafe pesticide use. Pesticide use is controlled by federal, state and local government agencies. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) delegates pesticide enforcement regulatory authority to the states.
