560.0. "Chemicals on lawn at CFO2?" by RADVAX::THOMPSON () Fri Jun 24 1988 14:19

    
    
    Does anyone know if the "right to know" law includes the stuff
    the lawn care company dumps on our lawn and sidewalk all the time?
    You can't avoid the stuff!?!  I'm located in CFO2 and am concerned
    about the long term affects on the people working here!!!

        Since you're in CFO, why not give your Building Service Manager a
        call?  He or she (I don't know which) is at DTN 251-1049 (which
        you can find listed under "PLANT ENGINEERING" in the classified
        part of the Digital Telephone Directory). 
        
        There's also a "Corporate Environmental Manager" in the Mill at
        DTN 223-3837.  If you're not satisfied with the response you get
        from your Building Services Manager, you might give the Corporate
        Environmental Manager a call.

      I believe state law which took effect last year requires the
    posting of notices on residential lawns after spraying.  Homes
    using lawn services seem to sprout little yellow flags every so
    often.  I don't know if this law applies to commercial and in-
    dustrial buildings.

  The lawn here has 'sprouted' those yellow flags several times in the last 5
years. I don't worry about it because I don't need to walk across the lawn and
I have never gotten a chemical odor when walking near the lawn. However, it's
an interesting question whether the right-to-know applies to chemicals that
people are exposed to on the grounds of plants but not inside.
