Agricultural
chemicals are used to kill pests and weeds and control crop
diseases. But they can also harm people!
Being
exposed to agricultural chemicals can make you sick, injure
you, and even threaten your life.
Agricultural
chemicals are sprayed by hand, from tractors, and from planes.
Agricultural
chemicals can be found on plants, in the soil, on equipment,
in irrigation canals, in storage areas, and on work clothes.
