Informing action for healthier communities
The #sanjoaquinvalley benefitted the most from the #chlorpyrifos ban, with total organophosphate use ⬇️ by 74%; in contrast, the #centralcoast, home to much of the country's strawberry and lettuce supply, saw total organophosphate use UNCHANGED comparing pre- and post-ban
🔍 New study finds uneven benefits from California's #Chlorpyrifos ban. Following the ban, we found #organophosphate #pesticide use ⬇️ 54% statewide - but not every region benefitted equally: Read the full publication ➡️ rdcu.be/eINeU

With the Brawley Health ACTION Environmental Study we are working with community to learn about a contamination site and other sources of pollution that have been longstanding EJ concerns. Learn more: buff.ly/3yNlXar #PoweredByTracking #EnvironmentalJustice
Our mission is to mobilize data to inform action for healthier communities, and partnerships are a critical part of our efforts to achieve this. Learn more about the project partners we work with: trackingcalifornia.org/about-us/proje… #taw2024 #beadataexplorer #adventuresinteamwork
"We were able to characterize air pollution at a much smaller area - down at a neighborhood level." In a recent study we conducted, we found that those living in neighborhoods with the highest PM2.5 exposure were at increased risk of getting sick and dying from COVID-19.
The “road to clean air” highlights EJ leaders and their experiences with air pollution. Check out this map to visit the seven communities in California where our community partners work and live: buff.ly/3Ba4U46 #PoweredByTracking #EnvironmentalJustice
In our FRESSCA-mujeres project, members of Coalinga, Lost Hills, and Bakersfield developed stories of resilience highlighting issues of contamination in their community, advocating for clean air, and the importance of indoor air cleaners. #beadataexplorer youtube.com/playlist?list=…
Our updated traffic tool expands access to and use of #data on traffic volumes throughout California for 2019 - Within the tool, search for a location and calculate #traffic volumes within 1000 meters. #beadataexplorer #taw2024 cdn.zevross.com/phi/traffic-ma…
We're using #DataforAction! Tracking California fills information gaps in environmental health issues. The Cal-WATCH project led to an emergency "Do Not Drink" alert issued by a local health department and two public drinking water systems, protecting the health of residents.
Unique data include interative PFAS Maps that display the most current PFAS water quality testing data from the California Waterboards. #PoweredByTracking #UniqueData #PFAS trackingcalifornia.org/pfas/mapping-p…
A1e: In our 2015 report on the cost of childhood environmental health conditions we looked at the loss economic productivity due to lead exposure. We found that each year California children will lose $8-11 billion in earnings due to lead exposure. trackingcalifornia.org/cost-of-childh…
In 2014, Tracking California published a report on ag pesticide use near public schools. While many schools did not have any pesticide use nearby, some did. Latino school kids in particular were more likely to attend schools with more nearby pesticide use. #BeyondData #TAW2019
Unique data include our Water Boundary Tool, an interactive tool that allowed users to crowd-source community water system boundaries. The tool has provided mission critical data to a wide variety of stakeholders in CA. #PoweredByTracking #UniqueData trackingcalifornia.org/news/tracking-…
Our #pesticidemappingtool allows users to easily access and visualize pesticide use data. Learn about the top 10 #pesticides in your area, how much was applied, and how they impact health. The tool is available in both English and Spanish. #beadataexplorer trackingcalifornia.org/data-and-tools…
"Nearly 70 lakes, rivers and reservoirs have issued “caution,” “warning” and “danger” advisories this year alone, but Clear Lake in particular has been an area where the toxic blooms’ impacts are far-reaching". bit.ly/3d9gghh
