Mosquito Mess: Your oceanside community has had a long-standing mosquito problem, and insecticides are regularly sprayed via trucks, helicopters, and fixed-wing aircraft to kill adult mosquitoes. A recent community increase in the rate of mosquito-borne illness is a major public health concern and has consequently led to an increase in the use of such chemicals. Community members are not only concerned about the risk of transmission of mosquito-borne illness, but also at the idea of increasing use of insecticides. The citizens of your community have expressed concern about this potential to contaminate the environment and the risks to public health. Your team will need to define and characterize at least two chemicals that are being used by this community to control mosquitos as well as the hazards posed by the mosquitos themselves.

**Human Exposure Information: Potential risks for human exposure to the hazard, including how people may be exposed, susceptible populations, and known dose-response information.

**Prevention Information: Describing exposure prevention and other strategies that would be useful to members of your community to avoid adverse health outcomes.

**Social change: A broader context and includes a final take home message that describes the implications of this issue for positive social change.
