Pesticides are widely used in agriculture, landscaping, homes, and businesses. They are regulated by the federal Environmental Protection Agency because their active ingredients can harm human and animal health. Pesticides used in Michigan must be registered with the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. There are over 15,000 different pesticide products registered for use in Michigan.1 An average of 77 Michiganders became ill or injured each year after being exposed to a pesticide at work (work-related pesticide) from 2003-2020 (MiTracking Data Portal). On average, 411 Michigan citizens were identified to have become ill or injured because of pesticide use between 2012 and 2020 (MiTracking Data Portal). These are reported exposures.
