Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in Schools
Oregon Schools IPM Report
NCAP created this report to monitor the integrity of the Oregon school IPM law. As an independent organization, we understood the need to evaluate the effectiveness of laws we helped put in place to reduce pesticides. This report includes background information on the law and a summary of survey results from 123 IPM coordinators across the state, representing 197 campuses.

Human Exposure to Pesticide Drift
Human Exposure to Pesticide Drift: Washington State Report (English)
Exposición Humana por Deriva de Pesticidas: Informe del Estado de Washington (Español)
NCAP co-authored this 21 page report summarizing important research documenting the rise of human exposure to harmful pesticide drift in Washington State. The Department of Health has reported that 90% of the people who reported health impacts caused by pesticide drift were not employed by the farm that applied the chemicals. Farm workers and their families bear the burden of a disproportionate amount of risk associated with pesticide use. The report includes personal stories of farm workers whose health has been negatively impacted by drift, background information on health risks associated with pesticides and an overview of efforts to reduce exposure by drift.
