Hazard Alerts for Pesticide Spraying.
As the state of California develops a system that will notify schools and people when a hazardous pesticide is sprayed in neighboring farms, two journalists set out to report on the dramatic human toll that pesticide exposure is having on farm working families. This report features the heart-rending story of a family ravaged by the effects of those chemicals, their activism to raise awareness about pesticide use and misuse, insights from scientists and practical advice to avoid pesticide poisoning.
Guests: Zaydee Sánchez, Claudia Meléndez Salinas, News Reporters, Environmental Health News and palabra/National Association of Hispanic Journalists, Salinas, CA.
