California Launches SprayDays: A New Tool for Pesticide Use Notification

In a significant move to enhance transparency and protect public health, California has introduced SprayDays, a new website designed to alert residents about pesticide applications in their vicinity. This initiative comes in response to growing concerns from farmworkers and communities about the potential health risks associated with pesticide exposure.

SprayDays allows users to receive notifications about pesticide use in their area, enabling them to take precautionary measures. The platform was developed following demands from farmworkers who sought more information on pesticide applications. The state's Department of Pesticide Regulation spearheaded the project, aiming to foster a safer environment for both agricultural workers and the general public.

The website's launch is part of a broader effort to address environmental and health issues related to agricultural practices. By providing real-time data, SprayDays empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their exposure to potentially harmful chemicals. This development marks a pivotal step towards greater accountability and safety in California's agricultural sector.
