Article Synopsis
- The CA Department of Pesticide Regulation (CDPR) developed a scoring system to evaluate 100 pesticides and 83 communities for an air monitoring study within the framework of California's Environmental Justice Action Plan.
- The evaluation considered factors like pesticide usage, volatility, community demographics, and health impacts to identify candidates for monitoring, distinguishing more heavily impacted communities and high-risk pesticides.
- Following public input and the scoring process, CDPR recommended 40 pesticides and one community for a yearlong study, which will inform future monitoring efforts using similar transparent and quantifiable methods.
