What is Toxic Trespass ?
Toxic Trespass occurs when hazardous materials used on one property become airborne, and drift (or trespass) from one property to the next.
A family can believe their children are playing in a pesticide free garden only to later discover that their children were poisoned by an upwind neighbor's pesticides and the second hand pesticides caused serious health consequences.
Why is it a threat ?
Toxic Trespass is a serious health threat for many, an annoyance to many others, and increases chances of long term disease (cancer, asthma, etc.) for everybody.
With most risks, we have a choice as to our own level of comfort. With Toxic Trespass, like Second Hand Smoke, we suffer the consequences of somebody else's bad habits.
