热门品牌Driscoll’s草莓在圣克鲁斯县种植

Driscoll's草莓最近因农药含量极高而登上新闻

圣克鲁斯县的儿童癌症发病率比全州平均水平高出38%

当地医生、活动人士以及农场工人家庭中心已将这一问题与帕哈罗谷农业区大量使用农药的关联联系起来

该地区使用大量农药，包括研究中与儿童癌症风险相关的某些类型，如特定熏蒸剂

活动人士指出，每年有超过5000英亩土地在学校和住宅附近使用与癌症相关的化学物质进行处理

这不是巧合，这是有关联的

The popular brand Driscoll’s Strawberries are grown in Santa Cruz County

Driscoll's strawberries have been in the news lately for having very high levels of pesticides

Pediatric Cancer Rate in Santa Cruz County is 38% higher than the state average

Local physicians and activists and the Center for Farmworker Families have linked the connection to heavy pesticide use in the Pajaro Valley agricultural area

The area uses large amounts of pesticides, including some linked to childhood cancer risks in studies, like certain fumigants

Activists cite over 5,000 acres treated annually with cancer linked chemicals near schools and homes

It’s not a coincidence, it’s connected
