Public's views of pesticides

In March 2004 the Agency funded research to improve its understanding of people's concerns about pesticides. The research found differing levels of concern among the public, but it was clear that most people did not have a good understanding of pesticides.

Further research was funded in 2005 to explore what information people want about pesticides and to find out what the Agency and other organisations could do to provide the information.
