| dc.description.abstract | This project is inspired by the common reading book Under the Feet of Jesus by Helena Maria Viramontes. I explore the effects of pesticide exposure on migrant farmworkers in California and the legal actions being taken. Pesticide exposure has caused a variety of health problems for those working on farms that use them and legal actions are important in order to protect the lives of these individuals and their families. The purpose of my research is to dig deeper into this issue and discover what is currently being done to protect these individuals and inform them of the risks. I am gathering my information through a culmination of article reviews and legal investigation. From this research, I will find out if there is any successful legal action being taken to protect migrant farmworkers from harmful exposure to pesticides. I hope to learn more about this issue and bring more attention to the importance of this situation and the rights of this group of people. | en_US |
