“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/20122024/…

Californians will soon be notified in advance about applications of hazardous agricultural pesticides pesticidereform.org/state-announce…

It's not fair to allow 14 times more cancer-causing 1,3-D than state scientists say is safe @LULAC @safeagsafeschls facebook.com/CALULACofficia…

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/pes…

"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/st…

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/10.10…

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/Serf-City-Time…

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 #abstract" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

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/sto…
