Have studies been conducted on possible health effects following aerial spraying for mosquito control?
Yes. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that when administered properly in a mosquito-control program, insecticides pose a low risk for acute, temporary health effects among persons in areas that are being sprayed and among workers handling and applying insecticides. CDC also reported that ULV aerial and ground spraying of products similar to Anvil did not result in elevated levels of the pesticides in human tissue in the population living in areas sprayed.
