The number of Canadian households using pesticides on their lawns and gardens has edged down, especially in Quebec, but two-thirds of households use polluting gas-powered lawn mowers, according to a new study.

The study was published in Envirostats, Statistics Canada's new quarterly bulletin on environmental and sustainable development statistics.
