Recent years of students getting sick from pesticides used by farmers near schools this is really great and several incidents in 2008 in why man koichi where dozens of students got sick after a pesticide was applied on a nearby seed corn plot weve seen example after example where weve had to rush children from a Public School to an e. R. Like the ones i work in across the state for severe area long problems we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants theres no question otherwise why would that a Chemical Company workers themselves be geared up and suited up what happened with why im a middle school was particularly egregious the state of Hawaii Department of agriculture does not do its job with respect to investigating complaints about pesticide drift and for years this has been the case it doesnt monitor the air it doesnt monitor the water it doesnt monitor the soil to make sure that pesticides are not leaving the fields and going into where people live and
