“Going anywhere near a productive strawberry field is completely insane if you care about your health at all,” Melissa Dennis said. “Strawberries are the most toxic agricultural product in existence.” 1,3-D is a big part of why. @lizabio @CA_PesticideReg insideclimatenews.org/news/2…
Californians will soon be notified in advance about applications of hazardous agricultural pesticides pesticidereform.org/state-an…
It's not fair to allow 14 times more cancer-causing 1,3-D than state scientists say is safe @LULAC @safeagsafeschls facebook.com/CALULACofficial…
Check out who's funded by pesticide companies, and what happens to legislation as a result. Case in point, the #paraquat ban bill AB 1863, “is not a ban. It started out as a ban . . . and then it got watered down to nothing.” usrtk.org/pesticides/pestici…
"1,3-D is the 3rd most used pesticide in CA. No one’s heard of it. No one’s paying attention. It’s scary. When @CA_PesticideReg say, ‘Don’t worry, all levels were below the level of concern,’ that is not the legal level set by @OEHHA.” @_TonyBriscoe latimes.com/environment/stor…

New research published today in the journal Environment by Gregg Macey @UCILaw and colleagues at @CAPestReform, @ewg, @GGU, and @VanderbiltU. "Our framework for analysis of the social dynamics of environmental harm opens new avenues for legal practice." tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

In "New Approaches to Public Data Make the Invisible Visible," we chronicle the decades of research by community leaders and organizations, including @CAPestReform, upon which the environmental law center @UCILaw builds. Read it here: bit.ly/4hczDTb
Why is @CA_PesticideReg lying to the public about what is in the air? Gov @GavinNewsom myemail.constantcontact.com/…
For the past three decades, CPR has amassed a record of environmentally unjust and outright racist practices by the state that fail farm working communities @CA_PesticideReg Gov @GavinNewsom tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
Our community air monitoring study with @UCDavisCRC in the San Joaquin Valley, funded by @AirResources, found significant pesticide exposure and a banned chemical #chlorpyrifos @MelissaGomez004 latimes.com/california/story…

UC Davis researchers and @CAPestReform worked with 31 adults and 11 children to collect air samples.
Nearly a quarter of them detected elevated levels of 1,3-D, chlorpyrifos and other pesticides
