New York, NY

New York, NY: (Apr-16-07) The No Spray Coalition and other environmental groups have been embroiled in a host of lawsuits against the City of New York in Federal Court, in opposition to Mayor Rudy Giuliani's administration's massive and indiscriminate spraying of toxic pesticides, including Malathion. The coalition alleged that the pesticides sprayed were dangerous to human health as well as to the natural environment causing many New Yorkers to suffer from Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS) or Asthma caused or exacerbated by the spraying. In a settlement reached, the city agreed to pay $80,000 to five grassroots environmental and wildlife rehabilitation groups and meet with the plaintiffs in several sessions to review an extensive list of concerns that the Coalition provided.
