Some physicians want all mosquito spraying stopped in Utah, claiming alleged harm to residents, but state officials reaffirm their methods of application are safe.
Members of Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment spoke out this week about dangers insecticides used against adult mosquitoes pose to Utahns’ health, publishing a report that lists the downsides of being downwind from mosquito-spraying areas.
The activists listed three major concerns:
Neurological problems, including autism, in adults, children and developing fetuses.
Decreased fertility in men and women.
Utah’s overall air quality.
However, the Salt Lake County Mosquito Abatement District countered that efforts to control mosquito populations protect Utahns from illnesses such as West Nile virus.
