Sommario/riassunto

How can we balance the risks of spraying pesticides versus the risks of insect-borne diseases such as West Nile Virus, Lyme Disease, or Malaria? Students discover the answers to these



intriguing questions and more by delving into the Cornell Scientific Inquiry Series: Assessing Toxic Risk, Student Edition.
