Welcome to 

Beyond Pesticides Ohio 

Working to Protect People, Pets and the Environment from Unnecessary Exposure to Pesticides 

Since 1985, Beyond Pesticides Ohio (formerly Ohio Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) has been the only organization in Ohio that focuses exclusively on pesticide reform issues. Beyond Pesticides Ohio's mission is to educate the public and public officials about the hazards of exposing people (especially children and the chemically sensitive) and the environment to toxic chemicals and the availability of safe and effective alternatives.
