Sec. 2.
Declaration of Purpose:
The purpose of this Act is to regulate
in the public interest the labeling, distribution, use and application of
pesticides as herein defined. It is recognized that pesticides are valuable
and necessary to Illinois' agricultural production and to
the protection of man and his environment from pests, but it is essential
to our general health and welfare that they be regulated to prevent adverse
effects on man and his environment. New pesticides and application methods
are continually being synthesized or discovered which may be valuable for
pest control. However, such pesticides may cause unreasonable adverse effects
on the environment or may be injurious to animals or man
if not properly used. It is, therefore, deemed necessary to provide for
the regulation of pesticides.
