This subseries consists of a collection of materials by local, state, and national activist groups and coalitions, particularly those involved with pesticides or some other environmental / health issues.

This subseries consists of materials on pesticide use and alternatives for agriculture, and lawn care / landscaping. The latter includes information relating to individual homeowner lawn care/landscaping, as well as that for institutions, particularly golf courses.

This subseries documents NYCAP's involvement in workplace safety and health issues particularly, but not exclusively, its work on the Occupational Safety and Health Training and Education Program (OSHTEP). This was a New York State Department of Labor funded program that made up an important portion of NYCAP's budget. NYCAP held numerous training conferences in connection with this program, the main goals of which were to educate workers about proper pest control methods, the health issues and risks of pesticides used in the workplace, along with low-risk pest control alternatives, and workers rights / employers responsibilities.

The main concern reflected in these materials was weed control on roadside and utility rights-of-way (ROW), and NYCAP's advocacy and research on alternatives to herbicides for this purpose.

This subseries contains materials on Integrated Pest Mangagement (IPM), a method of pest control that NYCAP advocated. IPM is defined as "the coordinated use of pest and environmental information with available pest control methods to prevent unacceptable levels of pest damage by the most economical means and with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment" [http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/food/ipm.htm]. Most of the materials are centered around schools, particularly the Health Schools Network (HSN). Materials about pesticide / chemical use and related issues in schools, which are not primarily about IPM, are also included. This subseries has been divided into two additional subseries, one consisting of school-related materials, and the other IPM-related materials in other institutions.
