The fact that pesticide pollution and illnesses associated with it disproportionately affect the poor and the powerless raises questions of environmental justice (and political injustice). Despite California's impressive record of environmental protection, massive pesticide regulatory apparatus, and booming organic farming industry, pesticide-related accidents and illnesses continue unabated. To unpack this conundrum, Harrison examines the conceptions of justice that increasingly shape environmental politics and finds that California's agricultural industry, regulators, and pesticide drift activists hold different, and conflicting, notions of what justice looks like."--Publisher's website.Food, health, and the environment.PesticidesEnvironmental aspectsCaliforniaAirPollutionCaliforniaEnvironmental justiceCaliforniaSpraying and dusting in agricultureCaliforniaSafety measuresElectronic books.PesticidesEnvironmental aspectsAirPollutionEnvironmental justiceSpraying and dusting in agricultureSafety measures.363.738/4Harrison Jill Lindsey1975-1053430MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457949703321Pesticide drift and the pursuit of environmental justice2485317UNINA
