Nursery & Garden Industry Association supports Ministry of Health Legionella guidelines
When your staff and customers handle garden soils, compost and potting mixes there is a potential risk of contracting legionellosis, or Legionnaires Disease. Legionellosis is a respiratory (lung) infection, caused by the Legionella bacteria. The severity of legionellosis can range from a relatively mild respiratory non-pneumonic illness (Pontiac fever) to pneumonia (Legionnaires disease) which if left untreated may be fatal.

National regulator changes label instructions for the use of fenthion
The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) has issued new instructions that restrict the use of fenthion on a number of food crops due to potential short term dietary risks.
The announcement follows the release of the 2012 Fenthion Residues and Dietary Risk Assessment Report in September which found that its use on many crops could exceed the recommended public health standard.
New label instructions reduce the amount of fenthion that can be used on some crops, and prohibit its use on specific fruits and vegetables, which mitigates the potential health risks identified in the residues report.
