Biodrift Profiles

These profiles tell the stories of people living near agricultural fields who are concerned about their health and the health of their families, especially during spraying season. Because of this concern, they tested both their own bodies and the air surrounding their homes and schools for chlorpyrifos, a pesticide known to cause health problems that is used on the orange groves nearby.
