The National Resource Defense Council is a very reliable and creiditable website.  It provides a large amount of information about pesticides, global warming, poising of the waterways, children's health etc., and there effects on the enviorment and society.  The information is verifiable through the agency and provides data validating its credibility to the researcher.  I find it to be a reputable organazation, however it does request donations and is backed by sponsors to further its cause.  It provides the researcher valuable information by comparing the pros and cons of pollutants to the enviorment. While there are states that do not support recycling nor the use of pesticides.  This site tends to lead credence to support for recycling.  It provides you with several web sites that are well maintained and easily comprehendible.  It was last verified on Monday, December 12th.    

The Parliment of Davenport is a good webiste for the researching pesticides and it effect on society.  The data is strongly supported by international agencies and scientists.  It addresses the effects of pesticides to the world and the enviorment.  The researchers who prepared this website were scholarly and seem to have the academic prestiege supporting this site.  It allows the research to verify the history of pesticides and the need for regulation.  It also provides information about the lack of funding in regards to pesticide research.  This website is highly creditable and although it was last update was May 2000, the information provided appears to be accurate. 

The United States Enviormental Protection Agency is a highly reliable website.  It provides information  on  the Enviormental Protection Agencies Program set up to regulate and inform the public of legal and illegal toxins. It also provides creditable agencies that can be contacted in regards to management, network, and control of pesticides.  The information is vast and may at times require a more indepth or sholarly interpretation as to the regulations and various documents that it refers you to.  It tends to stress the importance of controlling hazardous waste and materials.  It is overall very informative but would require in-depth research with the use of a scholar or an indepth web research.  This website is creditable and was last updated 5 December 2005.

This site is about a conference called Wildlife, Pesticides, and People.  It is primarily for supportors who do not beleive that pesticides should be used in our enviorment with an emphasis on forests.  It tends to be biased to the views of this Conference and supports there one-sided view point.  The composers are scholars so they are creditable, however it is vastly one sided.  It does not allow room for discussions of pesticides and how they effect forests and the enviorment as a whole.  Although I find the site creditable, I think that it is biased.  Although creditable, I would suggest that  up to date research be conducted through the library or the web.  It does provide several links for research and seems to be well prepared.  This web site is from a conference that was conducted in September 1998.


  The Pesticide Information Network is a very informative website.  It provides you with supportive links that you can research the various pesticides by chemical name and its composition.  It provides you with a comprehensive link to its data base and appears to be highly creditable.  It appears to provide the researcher with creditable information to determine whether you are for or against pestide useage.  This site is informative, easily understandable and is update frequently.  The last update was conducted on 12 December 2005.
