Does the city fumigate parks and if so what are the health hazards of doing so?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Fumigation is only performed when there is a public health menace of illness like west Nile virus or equine encephalitis, for example, which are transmitted by mosquitoes. In those instances,ample warnings should be issued to the public to avoid exposure to the pesticides.
