Petition - Pesticide Action Network
February 7, 2014
Gina McCarthy, Administrator
Environmental Protection Agency
1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW.
Washington, DC 20460–0001
Dear Administrator McCarthy,
We are very pleased that EPA will soon request public comment on long-awaited revisions to the
Worker Protection Standard(WPS). Collectively, and as organizations that work closely with
farmworkers and on farmworker health and safety issues, we hope to see a revised WPS that is as
strong and protective of farmworkers and their families as possible.
We look forward to the pending public comment period, as do the 18,255 supporters from across
the country who have signed the attached petition encouraging EPA to ‘do the right thing’ for
our nation’s nearly two million farmworkers. We will continue to mobilize farmworkers and their families, growers, clinicians, researchers
and policy makers, to engage them in the important process of public comment. We want to
ensure that EPA hears from the communities directly impacted by Worker Protection Standard as
well as those who can offer their expertise and guidance in support of better protections for U.S.
farmworkers.
Thank you for your time and attention, and we hope that we can count on your administration’s
support for strong protections for our nation’s farmworkers.
Sincerely,
Anne Katten

Citizen Petition
Dear Administrator McCarthy,
More than 13 years of delay is just too long. The Worker Protection Standards designed to
protect farmworkers from dangerous pesticides have languished in “internal review” since 2000,
while farmworkers and their families continue to experience harm.
We urge you to fix these broken rules, strengthening them in ways that are truly protective,
including providing farmworkers with the following:
1. More complete and regular training on health risks of pesticides; safety measures they
can take to protect themselves and their families; their employers’ responsibilities to
ensure their safety; and their rights as workers. These trainings must be offered more
often than the current requirement of every 5 years.
2. Timely information (in an accessible format), about the timing, location and hazards of
specific pesticides used on the farm where they work.
3. Special protections for pesticide handlers.
4. Improved enforcement of safety standards at the state level.
We hope the revised Worker Protection Standards are significantly stronger and more effectively
protect farmworkers and their families.
Sincereley,
(18,255 individuals, from across the 50 states and select Canadian provinces, listed below)

Comment
No human being deserves to work in unsavory conditions. I t is high time to acknowledge the contributions of farm workers to the well-­‐being of our entire society! And the farm workers do their work so very well! Protect them and their families from random pesticide poisoning and poor working conditions. Thank them for their good works!
WA
This is truly careless insanity. Please do something now!
Tell the EPA that you support stronger pesticide protections for farm workers!!!
Those who harvest our crops deserve to be protected from hazardous substances.
Workers and their families should never be at risk of pesticide contamination. Using non toxic natural solutions should ALWAYS be tried first. And the environment should be protected as well.
If farm worker's require more safety what about the citizens and animals who are eating the food?
Protect our farm workers' health and safety, while they work to provide our food and their family wages.
WA
Oregon Farm Worker Ministry stands with United Farm Workers (UFW) for safe working conditions.

Not only protection for the workers also for the products we consume.
It is a HUMAN right to be informed of any exposure to possibly harmful chemicals AND to be given the means to be protected from their harmful effects...
Stop poisoning hard working humans, some good bugs & our crops!
I worked for a company for 15 years during that time I sprayed herbicide every day, to protect myself I wore coveralls, rubber boots, rubber gloves, a hardhat with face shield and a respirator. that was a requirement. I can't imagine what farm workers have to do to protect themselves.
These workers absolutely deserve to be protected from there very dangerous chemicals! We shoul not even be using them in the first place! Dip not put the workers at risk any longer a,
Because it is the right thing to do.

We owe them so much, the least we can do is protect their health.
13 years is too long! Protect our farm workers now.
As a country, we should be ashamed of our lack of farmworker policies.
Not to take action immediately is inexcusable...and ultimately, it will save money!
capitalism kills ...and...capitalists kill.
It is unconscionable to expose our farmworkers to these dangerous pesticides without adequate protection!

All our bees are dying because of pesticides. We won't have crops to harvest without them.
CA
People over profit :)
I do not want to have to use soap & water to clean what I eat or to peel everything I eat, or to expose farm workers to these dangerous chemicals which over a period of time cause many unnecessary deaths.
Thank you.
Thank you.
The people who help grow our food and process it so that we have access to it need to be safe in the fields and the produce coming to us needs to be safe for us to eat.
Nobody wants to work in pesticides, they have no choice!

We must implement safety standards and make sure workers are compensated in the event of breach of requlation.
Protecting farm workers is a matter of not only labor rights but human rights.
Would you want your kids exposed to this stuff?
thousands of new job opportunities are in the fields of regulation, inspection, enforcement and remediation. we are all neighbors and have only one planet to leave for the growing and future generations. thank you
TOO MANY PESTICIDES ON EVERYTHING!!! YOU ARE KILLING THE CUSTOMER AND THE POOR PERSON WHO IS PICKING THIS FOOD!!
I have seen farm workers spraying strawberries. They were wearing hazmat suits. Horrible! Then we are supposed to believe the fruit is safe to eat?!?
Farm workers should be protected. They are people too, although it seems we don't treat them as such. I buy mostly organic now, not only for me but for them.

stop working for bosses that dont give a shit, if you give a shit, then show them your back, be true to yourselves and to nature and Earth..that is how it is done
If the harvesting of our Nation's food is causing disease and deaths among the People doing the harvest how can any Moral person go along with it? So many Politicians claim the "moral high ground" so why aren't they protecting all of us? If they refuse to demand the very much needed Regulation point them out, and Vote them out.

It seems obvious to me and many others that it is the responsibility of THE COMPANY to protect their workers!!! Thank heavens our government will intervene to help us!
Pesticides are poisonous to people too.
lets work together for better policy priorities !!
Do what is right and all will be well. Do not and risk the peril.
How would State senators like it if somebody came in to the chambers and sprayed them with pesticides for no reason? Would that be acceptable?
Our farmworkers pick the food that we eat. Please protect them from the harmful pesticides. It is the right thing to do.

No matter what job a person does, they deserve protection from any hazard we know of. it is also our responsibility to research on what hazards we suspect might be harming people.

Please, strenger protect pesticiden for farm Wolkers and uiers of food!
Don't smoke but it is O.K. to breath all these wonderful Chemicals in?!
These are basic humane requests -­‐ worker protection is long past due for the farmworkers.
The five year requirement is sinful AND criminal.
These workers are essential to Americans' lives and our economy. They need to be protected.

I am very concerned regarding the allowable amounts of herbicides and insecticides. PLEASE, research and implement safer alternatives.
Rather than promoting pesticides use, please, privilege the use of natural ressources which are numerous and help to protect the nvironment end its inhabitants. Thanks to regulmate firmly the use of chemical pesticides. JPD
Stop allowing all of us, including yourselves, to be poisoned. Stop catering to big companies like Monsanto and Dow. Start doing what you were formed to do: PROTECT THE PUBLIC!!!

Limiting pesticides would help keep them out of our food as well. There definitely is a link between the chemicals we ingest and the high cancer rate we see.
I had to give up work at age 58 since I was poisoned by Hi-­‐Cane, a derivative of Agent Orange used on kiwifruit. I now am susceptible to reacting to many pesticides, such as Round-­‐Up and insecticides. Please do stop using old and new pesticides.l
Please strive to protect workers against dangerous pesticides in farming. May our conscious be pricked into action on their behalf!

If better safety for farmworkers is somehow inconvenient, there actually is a viable alternative: ban all pesticides!
This seems like a thing we can do now, to reduce the long-­‐term harmful effects of exposure to pesticides on farm workers; and the overall health of the general planet.

EPA should do one more thing and that is recheck the residue data of pesticides in food grains and what are the side effects if we consume them for long time. and for this they should not depend on the submitted data by the producers but they should arrange a separate reliable mechanism for this.

monoculture is an unnatural way of cultivating crops that leads to a disruption in the ecosystem.Pesticides and herbicides are not the answer.Restore the ecological balance and you won't need to douse your crops with carcinogenic chemicals.

Pesticides and herbicides use needs to end.
When a substance kills life of any kind, it can harm or kill humans also. Continuing to use these toxins w/o adequate protections, controls, testing should not be allowed. I know what can happen. I got sprayed with some & a couple years later had an aggressive cancer.

Please protect our farmworkers, their families and the people that they help to feed (us).
I, personally feel that the EPA and the FDA are NOT doing the job WE THE PEOPLE 'pay' them to do; which is to protect us; we the people from corporate or business 'malfunctions' which would hurt the public. It seems, now, that both agencies are NO longer for the people but are only in it for their pockets. If I was in charge I would investigate both you and 'them' for corruption and employees 'on the take'. With everything going on, now, and having watched it progress in that direction in these last few decades; if the ends justify the means, the ends, here, show a corruption beyond belief and a total disregard for protecting the people.
People are exposed to sickness and death so that I can eat? NO! That is not right!

most of the EPA decision makers came from Monsanto, or will be getting money from Monsanto, possibly after they leave their EPA jobs. perhaps you plan this for your future. but monsanto pays the devils wages. beware of them.

If it was your family member that was being exposed, you would want these protections in place! Treat others as you would like to be treated!!!
When farmers and agricultural organizations aren't concerned about the effect of chemicals on their workers I wonder if they are concerned at all about the chemicals they are adding to the food that we eat. We shouldn't have to tell the farmers this, they should know it and should be doing something to protect their workers.

ALL PESTICIDES SHOULD BE BANNED!!! THEY ARE NOT NECESSARY FOR ANY REASON BUT FOR THE CHEM CO'S TO MAKE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!
We all deserve toxic free environments to work in. Field workers especially need to be protected from pesticides and Roundup and as consumers all people deserve to have non GMO and non TOXIC food to eat.
lets put this pesticides in the Ceos and owners of these chemical factories home for a nice fragrance..............
These issues should NOT still be present today. I have a grandmother who's had adverse effects of pesticides complicate her life today with many lung problems that are most common in people who have smoked, which she's never done a day in her life. For all the hard, manual labor they do, protect farmworkers from these conditions!!

I did Tribal/EPA pesticide inspections for 9 years on the Yakama Reservation. Most did a good job of upholding the WPS, but off Reservation, the state did few inspections, mostly follow-­‐ups to complaints and the fines were less than a slap on the wrist. States need to do more inspections.
Ban Pesticides completely once and for all.
Don't expose our farm workers to these dangerous pesticides..
We need better enforcement

Pesticides are harmful when airborne and the toxic residues exist in the soils for years. The toxic chemicals harm the farmworker, their families that tend to live very close to the farm, and the nearby community at large.
Pesticides may be helpful in creating that perfect veggie or fruit -­‐ but at what cost?! Pesticides are endangering our health and our lives, and killing off the most important element in food production ......the bees. Incessant pesticide spraying must be regulated, limited or stopped, if we are to have any future at all!

Pesticides are part of the massive species die-­‐off, cancer, and many, many other diseases. Please take care of these people who are in the forefront of exposure. They take care of the food we eat, take care of them, please. Get the poisons out of the people's workplace.
And all the bad press you guys get seems SO deserved... Paying your (outside influences) CEO's too much?
There are safer options that involves NO PESTICIDES! There are natural and organic ways to repel insects from crops, and therefore keeping all farm workers safe from pesticides. Meanwhile, why are there laws and regulations in place for the safety of farm workers that are not being enforced? Why is there this safety issue not being taken to heart for the viable life that is jeopardized by not creating higher and safer standards. Please do what you have been empowered by the American people to do as a Civil Servant, and that is to keep EVERYONE safe as best as you can. Rules and Regulations are guidelines, but how would you yourself want it to be done... How safe would you want to be in the shoes of the farm worker?
We're poisoning our planet.

Farm workers pick our produce, provide food for our families. Why wouldn't you protect them? Does it make sense that they should get ill providing us with our food? Think about what you are doing.
The EPA should DO WHAT YOUR NAME REQUIRES: PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT. I am appalled that the EPA has been corrupted and weakened so badly. When you fail to protect the environment, you forfeit the public support that you need!
Shame on you. These workers are picking our food. They need to work in a safe environment, and our food needs to be safe also -­‐ not full of chemicals. Please get this straight now. Thanks.

Don't stop here. If the EPA better controlled or actually eliminated dangerous, carcinogenic, toxic pesticides completely, it would improve the health of all families. Isn't it time to do the right thing?
Not only farm workers but everyone!! these toxic chemicals used DO permeate the plant and we end up eating them -­‐ they can not be washed off -­‐ the accumulation of these toxins in our bodies is one of the big reasons our country is so sick!!

It is difficult for me to understand that we do not do all we are able to do to protect the underpaid, overworked people who cultivate and harvest much of our food. We need to provide our farm workers and their children protection from harmful pesticides and herbicides.

It is disgraceful that most of Europe is far ahead of us in these policies! We need to set an international example, and (at least) catch up!
Here on Kauai, farmworkers and also children in nearby schools are suffering from drift, groundwater contamination, and other effects of airborne agricultural chemicals. 2,4,5-­‐T and Atrazine are among the probable causes. Please revisit these standards!
Better yet is to go organic and forgo pesticides altogether. Healthier workers, food, soil, fewer superweeds in the future.

Consumers wouldn't even buy this food if they knew what went on it while it was growing. And yet, farm workers working in the field get these pesticides all over themselves because of totally inadequate control over use. This is something you can fix. Let's get this done!

This is racism, pura nd simple. Spanics are my friends and I am white as snow scientist and do not believe the pesticides are properly, morally, or legally under FQPA regulated.
Stop destroying the lives of hard working American families !
Please protect workers from pesticides.
There in no justifiction or excuse for farm workers to be exposed unnecessarily to herbicides and pesticides. Bioaccumularion and biomagnification demonstrate that there is no safe exppsure level.

The agriculture season is upon us. Please protect these important workers. While you're at it protect the insect pollinators too!
Imagine a loved one handling these pesticides. What would you do to keep them safe?
Do that for those who are growing the food that they (and you) eat. Every day.

EPA -­‐ CDC CONNECT NOW.
Farmworkers must not be excluded from the Worker Protection Standard rules; I fully support genuinely stronger pesticide protection regulations for them. Today's pesticides are insidious and pose an immense immediate threats -­‐-­‐ as well as long-­‐
term cumulative health hazards -­‐-­‐ to those who must apply them, and especially those who them must work with the plants. I ask you to include farm workers in the WPS rules immediately.

It's appalling that the EPA refuses to do its job and protect farm workers and the rest of us, for that matter, from dangerous pesticides and other chemicals. Obviously, the chemical industry does a very good job of making sure that they slow down any kind of meaningful reforms. Will someone finally stand up to them and do the right thing and get these reforms passed? Personally, I think most of these pesticides are harming not only people but bees and other beneficial insects, so these reforms are pretty minor in the scheme of things.

Our farmers need to be informed on best practices for food safety, our farmworkers deserve the best information and enforcement of these practices, and consumers need to know their food is safe and safely harvested and processed. Development of safe practices should be done in consultation with farmers and farm workers to find practical solutions and to buy in and act on them.

It's the right and sensible thing to do.
It is ESSENTIAL that the EPA consider 1) long-­‐time sub-­‐lethal doses of toxic compounds, and 2) interactions (which can boost toxicity astronomically) between various fungicides, insecticides and herbicides. The EPA has A LOT to answer for: toxic compounds are available to everyone to spray, sprinkle and dust around their yards and farms without any regard for safety, cumulative action and sub-­‐lethal effect on people and animals and beneficial insects. Warnings of persistence in the environment are almost non-­‐
existent, information about interaction is also non-­‐ existent. As insects and weeds develop immunity to our products, new stronger formulas are rushed to the market without testing or analysis of effects.

Annual health screening for early signs of pesticide injury, especially to the kidneys, should be mandatory for all farmworkers exposed to pesticides through application of the agents or during the harvesting process.
Basically teat farm workers with the same rights to protections as US citizens.

PLEASE PROTECT FARM WORKERS AND EVERYONE ELSE FROM THE SPRAY AND SIDE EFFECTS OF PESTICIDES
It's beyond time to address this pressing health concern.
As low paid, itinerant, often immigrants, farm workers are overlooked when it comes to safe workplaces. They are not even subject to the protections of the Fair Labor Standards Act. It is time to give them real protection against the chemical hazards of pesticides. I encourage you to make the Worker Protection Standard strong and effective. Thank You -­‐ Jay Herzmark

Pesticides are causing substantial harm to people and to the environment and GMO crops are intensifying our dependence on pesticides. I stand with farm workers asking for more protection!

Pesticides aren't good on edibles for consumption by humans & not good for workers in the field. Please reduce or use non-­‐chemical options.
Please give farm workers the protections they so very much deserve. Safe working conditions should be a given.

Farm workers are human beings and deserve safe working conditions.
You need to include protections for everyone living within 1/4 mile of applications, including mandatory use of least hazardous options, complete and timely notice of application including product name & reg. #, start & end times, REI, & Method of application. There must be substantive penalties for entities tat fail to comply and compensation for persons/families harmed, or frced to eave their homes for their own protection, not just the applying entity's workers.
Please do your job. Protect the people, food, and water. Stop doing what corporations are telling you to do. We have to show them that they will not own our government. Please help the people and lets get corporations out of our government.

This is a must for any country that calls itself a democracy!
The world is nearly broken beyond critical mass. Any and every single thing possible to do that is sustainable must be done!
Protect people, not corporate interests, please.
It is a scandal that farmworkers are still unprotected by law from chemical tresspass.
Equal protection for all.

Isn't it high time for conscientious deployment of any and all safeguards and protections as might readily assure and sustain healthy working environments for all those exposed to possible risk.
We totally need to protect the people who grow and harvest our food!!
Safe drinking water, toilets and breaks are also known to increase worker production as well as better health in workers. Thank You for considering the value of every human being, as workers, and as an expression of our humanity.
We should have had stringent regs in place decades ago. Actually, we should have phased out these dangerous chemicals decades ago! For both the health of the workers and the health of those that eat the crops.
All harmful pesticides must be ban, people must not work in conditions where they can contract all sorts of diseases due to pesticides including cancer.
Where would we be without our farmers?? Please listen to the requests being made to revise the worker protection standards.
OR
OR
OR
OR

The health of our hard-­‐working farm workers should be of PRIME importance!
Dear Bob and everyone who reads this. Have you ever done farm work? I have, and I've seen some awful practices around pesticides, so I know firsthand just how much these protections are needed. Thankyou, Clare

I have a special feeling for these issues because I worked as a farmworker from the age of 8 until 22 here in Oregon. Now I am 60. It seems like chemical exposures, bad enough when I was a worker, have gotten worse instead of better.
I worked as a farmworker from the age 13 to 18 (1954 to the fall 1959) during the summer. At that time concern about the workers well being regarding pesticides and herbicides was very limited. We have made progress but we still have a long to go.

please help keep our food supply safer
You would think that sane people by this time in history, with all the information we know about the harmful effects of pesticides, not only to the people who have to work with them, but the harmful effects to those who eat the food sprayed with them, and the negative impact on the environment itself, would stop using them, or at the very least make a concerted effort to protect our fellow humans, the farm workers. Evolve please!!

Farmworkers do the hard work of picking food that comes to our table. They deserve safety and protection from pesticides!
As a horticultural photographer, I see farms and farm workers in person. This is crucial.
They are OUR FOOD Workers! Protect them!
"Farm workers are explicitly excluded from workplace protections other workers enjoy." !!!
I'm concerned with the carelessness of pesticide applications on farm and in my neighborhood. Please do what you can to protect our citizens.
Study after study has shown that Organic methods are more effective and economical. Please not only protect the farm workers but all of us from the effects of toxic farming.
Take care of this now!
I know you will do the right thing!
Protect our farmworkers and their families. Also I encourage you to get a non big agricutural unbiased organization to research the efficacy of using pesticides: health risk to farmer workers, consumers eating the food, and the results on air, water, and soil quality over time.

As a wealthy nation, it should be one of our very top priorities to ensure the health and safety of those who work to put food on our tables I urge you to protect there workers now.

This is right, compassionate, and essential to those who work hard to grow and harvest our food. Preventing occupational exposure to toxic pesticides for those who are also unlikely to have health care insurance and even more unlikely to be able to afford the costs of dealing the harmful health effects is the least we should be doing.

Our national food security depends on wise stewardship of our soils, water, pollinators, beneficial insects, and human resources-­‐our farmers and farmworkers. Delays to amend our lax and toxic pesticide policies in this country could spell disaster for our food sovereignty as climate change continues to cause severe droughts and floods, affecting millions of acres of farmland-­‐while our crops are being overdosed with petroleum based fertilizers and pesticides-­‐ this is the recipe for long term soil depletion, pollinator loss, poisoned aquifers and rivers, and sick farm workers, farmers, and food consumers. Get with the times and embrace organic agriculture-­‐ which fed folks for thousands of years sustainably and can do so today with intelligent, informed land stewardship. I should know-­‐I am an organic farmer!
Out of Control!
you'd fix this if your relatives were constantly exposed -­‐ you must be pretty certain there is no hell, eh?

All recent research indicates that we have much to learn about the deleterious effects of exposure to common agricultural chemicals. As the investigations continue, we must act to pre-­‐empt damage done to the health and well being of our farm families...of all ethnicities and origins ! Please bring regulation up to the standard of what we now know about long term, multiple chemical exposure in the farm environment.
Please take action to protect us and our children. don't forget about birds and other wildlife. And Our Children's Future!
This legislation helps workers, but it can also reap benefits for consumers in terms by reducing future healthcare costs for illness caused by long-­‐term exposure to pesticides and herbicides on foods we eat. Please move the Worker Protection Standards this year.
I want the people who serve me and my family to be protected from harm while they do so.

Protect our farm workers
These rules need to be upheld. For workers and their families willing to do the hard labor, and for all those associated with and neighboring our farms, orchards and ranches. May all who people this earth be protected. Thank you.
It is vital that we protect workers by supporting their ability to be educated and make good decisions in their place of work. We have strong laws in other aspects of work in this country -­‐ why should farm workers be any different?

This issue deserves top priority NOW. Any reasonable-­‐thinking person would fire every single individual involved in environmental protections given the frightening consequences we are now facing regarding the insect populations that secure our food supply. Who is responsible? Who is protecting Monsanto? It's time to shut this company and its clones down. We are on the brink of an immense disaster. The EPA needs to step up to the plate and start taking some serious steps to curb environmental pollutants and environmental polluters like Monsanto. Shut them down NOW!

One of the greatest blemishes on our reputation as a country is our SHAMELESS EXPLOITATION of migrant, undocumented workers!! The blame needs to fall on the horribly cruel entrepreneurs, who take advantage of these poor souls -­‐-­‐ including DIRECTLY exposing them to dangerous pesticides, which they don't even give their workers the proper facilities to wash off!! THIS IS AN INTERNATIONAL DISGRACE!!

All of the things I hear about the way this Congress is operating, makes me want to boot them ALL out!! What's so difficult to understand about farm laborers getting health problems from all the pesticides they encounter on the job?? These wrongs must be addressed!! Must we elect a whole new Congress?? That's what's going to happen with all the criminals who are now holding positions in Congress!
There are other ways to increase agricultural productivity, I suggest learning about permaculture.
I live Kauai,Hawaii and trust me-­‐I-­‐ WE KNOW ALL ABOUT IT ! WE are a testing ground 4 everything they use over there on the "mainland" ! I was born and raised in Stockton Ca. so I think I'd know at the age of 56 years. seen a lot-­‐thxs 4 your time!
There is no rational reason to pollute our own environment or destroy other species. www.WeAreOne.cc
Please address with your vote all the mentioned broken rules for farming practices. Mahalo!
It is way past time to address these health and safety issues.

plz get serious and take firm , meaningful action ! thx, brett gobar , b.s. water quality
Without healthy farm workers, we won't have workers to provide us with the food we need. We also need to farm without harmful pesticides, no one needs to eat tainted food.
Trifluralin has been banned in the EU since 2008. I believe corruption within the EPA is the reason it is not banned in the U.S. Trifluralin is highly toxic to aquatic animals and plants and is carcinogenic to humans. Allowing trifluralin to be used is criminal, especially in the island state of Hawaii !!!
Please take action now before its too late!!
Get rid of these toxic pesticides and protect farmers-­‐
small farmers and even the corporate farmer's health. This is a crime and only makes for common sense practices.
Please make farming safer for workers.
HI
Sherrie
Pesticide Action Network
None of this has any impact even if passed, unless it is also comprehensible to the farm workers. How many counties across the nation provide detailed pesticide training in Spanish, Tagalog, Ilicano, Samoan, Tongan, Micronesian, Vietnamese, Laotian.... and how many of current workers understand English at the level necessary to comprehend a standard pesticide applicators safety course?
Please HELP!
It is appalling that the EPA has become so inactive in any situation that involves conflicts between pollution affecting ordinary citizens, and corporations that manufacture and profit from pollution. Please get back to your mission of protecting people and the planet from pollution.
And get rid of GMO crops while you are it, please, thank you.
i am a cut flower farmer and have suffered and experienced first hand the results of pesticides, lost my hair and my general health.

we vote with our dollars every time we shop for real food.
The time has come to protect and care for the people who work .
This is just ridiculous. This needs to be fixed!!
You have to stop letting poiso go by you. Step up the the plate get some stones
please fix what is broken
It used to be STANDARD PRACTICE and common view that clean air, fresh water, healthy fertile soil would naturally lead to health for all ....... not anymore! the 'almighty false-­‐pocket of wealth' has stepped in to undermine......so ESSENTIAL to protect these BASIC and COMMON rights of being, for all creatures, everywhere me ke aloha
que lastima! los campesinos se necesitan ayudades y protecciones!

This is important. However it is not enough. It is time for The EPA to protect our complex worldwide ecosystem from irresponsible damage due to any and all toxic chemicals generated in and by our country.
I'm a farmer; these are indeed dangerous chemicals that farmworkers are being exposed to. Set safe standards.
From Clarance Thomas to every bureaucrat, the Ag/chemical industry has bought such influence that poisoning people is now an accepted part of our society. Please help to stop or slow down this madness. Everyday small farmers are getting regulated and big Ag gets help from the states and Feds. Enough!

Please stop selling your souls for money.
It seems to me that you have been sleeping at the wheel for a very long time, EPA. In case you be waiting for Prince Charming to wake you up, I'm sorry to report that he's himself dying from toxic exposure. Just WAKE UP, OK?
PLEASE LISTEN to us! Mahalo nui loa

We are counting on you to protect our farm workers now.
Protect the people who work in the fields as well as the people who eat the food. Please stop poisoning the citizens of this country and the world with pesticides. There is nothing good about poisoning the world!
And healthy soils not GMO is the answer
right to healthy work environment is sacred.
Please seriously attend to this. Don't leave it in the same condition as the FRACKING situation!
I would prefer that pesticides not be usesd at all...Haven't we poisoned Mother Earth enough? And so many people dying because of exposure to harmful products.....Could we please move forward to finding a healthier way to grow our crops and protect our workers and consumers?
thanks
IT IS TIME FOR BIG MONEY TO STOP RUNNING AND RUINING THIS COUNTRY...A GOVERNMENT BY TE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE MUST RETURN...LEAST I REMIND YOU...EPA IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH WE THE PEOPLE LIVE AND WORK IN...PLEASE DO YOUR JOB, THANK YOU...KENNETH L.
Please protect farm wirkers from deadly pesticide exposure....
Please help our producers and consumers be free from Pesticide and their harmful side-­‐effects.
Pesticides CAUSE Cancer. The ball in in your court. This is NOT a Game.

Scientifically we now know that pesticides are harmful to humans. And we also know that pesticides in combination potentiate the harm. PLEASE PROTECT all people. You once were a trusted guardian. You can be that again.
Dear Mr. Perciasepe, American farm workers risk their lives daily to put food on our tables. The least we can do is protect them from hazardous chemicals when possible. Please help strengthen these laws to keep farm workers healthy and safe from harm. Thank you for taking action on this matter. Sincerely, Jan Pappas Aiea, Hawaii

My first reaction was "not strong enough". Back in the 1960's my uncle in Colorado was in the hospital on his death bed. He told me he just knew it was because a cloud of pesticides "got him" while he was in the field, that came from the neighbor's field. I believe the family has told me it was leukemia, but I'm not sure. Thank you for protecting workers and families from pesticides and herbicides.

As an organic family farmer, I am appalled whenever I hear of the plight of farm workers subjected to pesticide poisoning! This must stop!
Please stop using pesticides! That would solve the problem and I could then buy your products again.
I live in an area where methyl bromide is used extensively in strawberry production and have grave concerns about that chemical entering not, only the food supply, but the additional risks it poses to the environment.
there is nothing more precious than life. Good health surely has to accompany!
How many lives to you want to see damaged by exposure to these noxious and carcinogenic chemicals? Would you move any faster on this item if your family were exposed to them?
CA

Let's get rid of these nasty chemicals now!!!
Famworkers and their families need to be safe in thier job sites and comming home with no residue! Its like somebody working in a Nuke power plant and glowing green when they are in bed with thier partner.

IT IS DESPICABLE THAT THE EPA FINDS PROFITS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF PEOPLE. THE CORPORATE PROSTITUTES THAT WORK FOR THE EPA A PATHETIC.
Personally, I would prefer to see pesticides banned. That would solve the problem with farm workers. But if you are not going to protect ALL of us from pesticides, AT LEAST protect the people who are not even paid a living wage to produce our food. They should be given EXTRA protection to avoid these cancer-­‐causing agents.

As a retired Public Health Nurse, I saw first hand the effects of pesticide and chemical use in the field as I visited farm laborers and families who lived on the farms.

I am not comfortable eating produce that has had pesticide sprayed on it. I am also not comfortable that the hard-­‐working people who pick the produce I eat are similarly exposed to these toxic pesticides.
Finally, the toxin is not confined to the fields, to the workers who have no power, but to ALL of us.
CA
CA
As a former farm worker, I know about pesticides exposures. Now, the consumers have it worse with systemic poisons inside the foods, plus others often unknown in the so-­‐called inert ingredients.
There seems to be an idea lingering, that just because workers come from other countries, they don't need to be protected from the poisons we the consumers are later exposed to. These workers are really exposed to the brunt of the problem we as humanity face. The canaries in the coalmine so to speak. Unfortunately, if there is a problem, no one gets to hear about it. It's truly dispicable!

This exposure has gone on for far too long. What will it take to protect the people on the forefront of exposure? And what about the children exposed?
These people are not "workers." They are our brothers and sisters who inhabit this planet alongside us and probably work a hell of a lot harder than most signing or reading this position. The least we could do is keep them from getting poisoned while we eat the fruits and vegetables that THEY pick. It is the only ethical course of action.

Dangerous herbicides such as Agent Orange and Roundup also need training to protect workers and their families. Pesticides and herbicides are both hazardous to human health. In fact, why are we spraying these poisons onto the most fertile soil in the world? Organic and biodynamic growth methods produce better yields of higher quality without poisoning Mother Earth and those who work the fields to feed us.

Where do I begin? Clearly you have no idea what Environmental Protection Agency means! It is not meant for you to abuse your power and be protected. We need farms and farmers for our FOOD. Please just do the right thing!
I work on a farm in a walnut growing area, and I know how much pesticides are used -­‐a lot. workers need help and farmers need help learning how to grow crops using less and/or less toxic pesticides please help.

Seems like pesticide poisoning has been forever. Is it not long, long past time to act decisively?
Many people do not take the time and money to buy organic, pesticide free foods. They assume what they are buying is healthy. It is therefore incumbent upon suppliers and overseers to make sure the best possible produce/products are out there. That's why we have agencies like the EPA. Thanks for all the work you do.
Protect our farm workers and our food supply from pesticide injury.

Farm workers have no defense against pesticide residue in the fields they are working. In many case the farm workers themselves are spraying the chemicals without proper knowledge of the dangers of the chemicals they are spraying. They must have proper equipment and clothing to keep them from exposure to the effects of harmful pesticides. They also need to know when it is safe to work in fields that have been sprayed.

DANGER! CAUTION! WARNING! URGENT! Truth is these vicious killer POISONS of synthetic Petro-­‐
Chemical herbicides, Fertilizers, Pesticides, etc, and he'll knows what else...are being UNWISELY approved and widely used. In fact the use of these Killer Poisons are committing crimes against humanity and all living things! As a grandmother who CARES greatly for All Creation, I am soo ashamed of our USA FED GOV and all associated agencies and all the Corporations that have conspired to make USDA and EPA in BED with the sickest Unhealthy unsafe foods and farms standards in the world! NOTICE! Over 90 percent of USA citizens in poll after poll say We want our foods to be grown and processed with the strictest Certified ORGANIC methods and materials! PERIOD. Big Chem and Monsanto and others are insanely Killing our Pollinator BEES, PEOPLE and the children and all living things like farm animals, pets, and wildlife disappearing species gone gonzo on mega steroids! If you are fit for public service you WILL GIVE 100 percent of yourself to BANNING ALL THESE KILLER POISONS from ALL our farms, families and foods!

We are all workers at least the 99% of us, and I strongly believe as an American Citizen that America's workers have the right and indeed expectation to do that work in a safe place; whether that work place is in the fields or office or home or anywhere an income is earned. To do any less is inhumane and criminal in my humble opinion.

It is criminal that in America the safety of our farm workers is still an unresolved issue. The chemical lobby must be taken to task because they are allowed to wreck havoc on the health of Americans, our water supply and food safety with impunity. EPA please do your job now. The earth is in crisis and you must not contribute to it!
I am shocked and appalled by the impending approval that the USDA may be giving to Agent Orange ingredient 2,4-­‐D for use on our nation's crops. I know Viet Nam vets with life-­‐long disabling health conditions, and their children born with birth defects due to exposure to this chemical for a brief period of time in their lives. It is completely inconceivable to me that the USDA would want to put this poison on our food and expose our workers to its dangers. We, all of us, eaters and farm workers, need protection from this horrible chemical.

Instead of spending so much effort to stop people being able to buy raw milk, or grow vegetables, or store water, you should put your efforts into containing poisons.
When farming practices move to organics, there are fewer pesticides to harm farmworkers and consumers.
Every person needs to know what can hurt their health. Please complete the review and train the workers so that they can protect themselves and their families.
It's not right to protect these workers.
Since there are so many risks we should not be using these poisons at all, but until we wake up and wise up we should at least protect those we ask to handle them.
Farm workers feed us. Without them, we would be hard-­‐pressed to get food to our tables and yet they are treated as if they are expendable. Give them protection, make laws and enforce them so that they are not exposed to these ghastly chemicals. They do work that few white Americans would do. Treat them with dignity and respect and protect them!

We must complete the move to organic agriculture as soon as possible. Subjecting workers to pesticides and herbicides, which are passed into and onto the vegetables consumers eat is no longer acceptable.

There is no excuse for allowing the routine poisoning of any people in any workplace, or any other place. Since the farm workers are mostly not seen and not heard then seemingly no one cares about them. Well people do care and we demand that the farm workers and their families be treated with dignity and not be subjected to routine pesticide poisoning.

I eat organic vegetables whenever I can to protect both my family and the farm workers who care for the nation's food. Please protect farm workers and the crops from poorly enforced pesticide regulations and practices.
Place an immediate moratorium on all pesticides.
When profit takes the superior place over human health and is sanctioned by the government then that government is a monster.
This issue will certainly come back to bite us, hard. You cannot allow people to be poisoned and not pay the price for the misdeed eventually. Our only hope is to do something about it sooner rather than kick the can down the road. Be brave -­‐ Act! Do Something!
Stop Monsanto and protect the bee population.
thank you for listening to the people. I am a farmer in California and care very much about this issue.
This is the right thing to do for the humans involved. Everyone would want this for their family or friends if they were in the same position as these workers are in. Delaying this is just increasing the human health crisis and costs related. Emery Dann

It is past time to clear up our act in this country. Too many of our people re getting sick and dying and we are not enforcing the standards we have vowed to.
Saw a.miserable worker applying round up at a grocery shopping mall. First I was upset and.then I realized he was getting.the worst.of it & had little choice in the.matter. Same ad.caused the massive bee die.off in.Oregon.

The best way is to do away with the pesticide hazards altogether and find a better eco-­‐friendly way to control pests from our food supply before we kill off the bee population and end our food supply altogether.
Stop the insanity. We need safe food now.

The farm worker humans bring food to your table. Respect them absolutely in who they are and what they do. Please, improve their safety standards to protect these very hard working individuals. They neither deserve or can afford to get sick. As Politicians I ask you to help the farm workers by passing laws or rules to cover those rules which may have, so far, failed to protect the workers in the private sector. Thank you very much.

Farmerworkers deserve the same dignity and protection as all of us.
I didn't even know something like this could be under review for so long. This is a total lack of the EPA not doing their job.
To the Agriculture Farm Owners. Jesus Christ
in the name of the Lord, Treat Others as You Would Want to Be Treated!!
I question, Does This Ever Stop??
CA
CA
Wake Up & smell the flowers while there are still some around !
We have a choice whether we want to buy fruit with the horrible pesticides but the farm workers have no choice. Some workers may be Illegal and afraid of being deported. I believe the farm owners know that, but they don't care. They just take advantage of these poor, underprivileged people, you allow horrific pesticides in the atmosphere and then what? When the farm worker gets sick, who helps them? Oh, yeah, NO ONE!!

I support organic because it reduces the overall amount of toxic pesticides on people, in the air, water and land. Please support improved Worker Protection Standards, including pesticide reduction and safety regulations.
The pesticides and herbicides on the market are way too toxic. It is way past time to stop poisoning the general population.
For the farmworkers' and for the consumers' health we need to take dangerous toxic pesticides off the market and heavily fine those who use them. Thanks
This may look like a routine form letter, but the sentiments we feel about this abuse of human life is deep and long-­‐lasting! Please act now!

Disgraceful and shame on us for not doing this from the beginning.
Pesticides are endangering farm workers, polluting our water, killing bee colonies and destroying the natural environment. Will we ever learn or is corporate profit the only concern?
Clearly, more worker protections are needed for those who grow our nation's food. Please act now to protect farmworkers and their families from pesticide exposure!

Our skies should be blue but continuous pollution from planes make the sky a milky white. This cannot be good for lungs, especially children. Some planes emissions form a criss-­‐crossing pattern in the sky, which is odd because the flight paths of commercial airlines do not cross. This is serious and needs to be investigated. Its not just here, its everywhere. Look up!
And we should charge a fee based on the toxicity, amount applied, and persistence of all chemicals, so the most dangerous are saved for times when they are the only choice.
We are sincerely praying that all of you who are responsible for this unconscionable delay in setting stronger standards are born farmworkers in your next lives. That includes all of your families too. Seriously!
How could this harm continue for so long!

Methyl-­‐bromide and it's replacements are used across the street from our high school would you let your children attend there?
Farm workers need every protection to insure they are safe. Among those should be a protective place where they can access shade. If one doesn't think so, try working in the fields.
I talked to an old sprayer who told me that most sprayers he knows have died from cancer within five years of retiring. This should be a class action lawsuit.
Would any member of Congress put themselves in this kind of situation? Rather, doubt that.

It's really sad that in all of the years we have known about the dangers of pesticides, not only are we still using them but, we are not properly warning people in harms way, we are not giving them proper protection, or frequent trainings. Please do the right thing!
Please protect the public, not bend to agribusiness.
PESTICIDES MUST BE REGULATED BETTER TO PROTECT HEALTH!!!
As an senior citizen who is a former farm worker from a migrant family and is a retired elementary school teacher, I know first hand of the dangers of pesticides on myself and my hundereds of former students and their families. Harm to these families and children is harm to our society. It costs us all in many ways including healthcare and fatalities. Worker Protection Standards are vitally needed to effectively protect us all.
What would we do without them?

This involves municipal workers in our communities too, which means pesticide/herbicide exposure to all of us.
Do we have to be in the business of hurting some people in order to have food for others???? Would the corporate farms want their families working in these conditions? Until they can answer yes to this, there should be change!!!!!!!

I first supported Cesar Chavez and the farmworkers 45 years ago when I was 11. I find it sad that we are still treating the people, who fill our bellies with food, so poorly. It is past time to treat these people with respect and reciprocity.
Worker protection means healthy produce for the consumer.
Safety is the foundation of all that is healthy...PLEASE rise up and respond to these issues with action and systems that will allow the greater health of farm workers and ultimately ALL of us. I BELIEVE IN YOU, I BELIEVE YOU CARE, PLEASE INITIATE THESE CHANGES...Thank You!

Wouldn't you act on this as soon as you could if your family members or friends were exposed to these harsh chemicals. Please think about what's the right thing to do.
How does the "Monsanto Protection Act" fit in to all of this?
Safety delayed is safety denied.

These workers are the lifeblood and backbone of our nation. They toil and work to ensure food makes to all of our tables -­‐ rich and poor alike. These hard working citizens deserve protection and improved conditions. No more excuses, no more corrupt financial influence by Big Ag or Chemical Corporation Lobbyists. Do the right thing -­‐ starting today.

The EPA is The Environmental PROTECTIVE Agency...NOT the EDA; The Environmental DEFECTIVE Agency. With all the knowledge we have in organic farming WHY in the HELL would you still allow the use of seriously damaging pesticides? Lining the pockets of polluters is NOT what the EPA should be doing. Protect our farmers, OUR BEES that are in imminent colony collapse right now due to the use of pesticides, and the rest of the environment. THAT IS YOUR JOB!!!!!
Shame on us for not protecting farmworkers.
Government regulators have all too often done the bidding of corporations rather than rigorously scrutunized chemicals for their consequences to humans and animals before allowing their commercial use. This is deeply irresponsible.

It seems that the dangers of pesticides are only considered important when the relatively small percentage of it reaches consumers, while those who work next to these dangers in order to bring us our food are not considered important enough to protect. Do you think this is the way a fair and decent society should behave?

Safety first and foremost what if this was your mom, dad, sister, brother????
please help revise the worker protection standards, for the farmworkers and their families
Please fix the rules now. It's the right thing to do. And it will help protect not only farmworkers, but all residents in the sprayed areas.
This is unconscionable-­‐-­‐past time to get action to protect people from deadly chemicals.
Just protect the workers!
We need as a nation to take better care of the millions of people who provide our food. They face probably the most dangerous exposure to chemicals of any work force, and they need strong protections in place.

Farm workers need protection now from the chemicals being put on crops. Ultimately -­‐ and the sooner the better -­‐ we should move towards more integrated pest management, and, best of all, organic farming. When it becomes safe to be in the fields, and we pay farm workers properly, ordinary U.S. citizens will be glad to work in the fields (endless population growth fvia farm worker immigrants is unsustainable).
we all need protection no matter where we are. Please help keep these men, women and children safe
Active leadership by the EPA is required if the states are to ever improve how they monitor and regulate these issues. PLEASE step up and do this in the next year!
By protecting them we are helping to protect ourselves.

Training for workers is important, but it isn't enough. Training also needs to be provided to farmers and employees who use pesticides. And penalties are needed for failing to comply with regulations. Pesticide exposure is a serious issue. Farmworkers' children are being negatively affected.
My family and friends around the US, including in zip codes 33156 and 33139, are all very concerned about this situation.

It is long past time for good Worker Protection Standards. We urge you to see to it that this is done and done right. Now! Thank you.

Working on a farm is among the most dangerous of jobs you can do in the U.S. It is unconscionable that farm workers are excluded from protections that workers in other industries enjoy, especially when you consider the pesticides -­‐ biological poisons by design -­‐ that they are exposed to. All industries deserve common sense, language-­‐appropriate protection from workplace hazards.
Working the farm fields to feed our nation and its neighbors should not be the most dangerous job in America. It's unconscionable that farmworkers do not have adequate protection from pesticides. This is an urgent situation that I hope you will move up in your priority list.
Farm workers have been waiting for safety-­‐
protections, including crucial protection from pesticides, for too long. It's time to ramp up those safety rules, and ENFORCE them. They harvest all the bounty that greets us in our stores, yet they are not given the respect of protection from pesticides, and decent working-­‐conditions. That is not acceptable!

Protect farm workers and protect our food.
Protection is needed from not only pesticides but fungicides and herbicides, too.

Let's keep all our farm workers safe! Let's put safety above profits!

Please do ALL that can be done to help workers be safe with the poisons/pesticides they must use in their employment.

I URGE you to put meaningful protections in place for the 2 million workers who plant, tend and harvest our country's produce. This is a moral issue as well as good common sense.
Protect farmworkers today. Every minute that passes means more dangerous exposure to these chemicals for these workers.
Long overdue -­‐ farmworkers need much better care.
New pesticide safeguards are needed now!

We need to take care of the people who help put the food on our tables.
It's time to get our heads out of the sand and live in a healthy world. Thank you very much.
We shouldn't even be USING chemicals on our farms, let alone exposing field workers to their detrimental effects!
Pesticides are chemicals that must be used responsibly and it should be critical that the public be fully aware of where they are being used.
Pesticides affect everyone, and that includes your children ,sisters ,brothers,grandparents, grandchildren, and you. Pesticides affect everyone!

Stop production of, delivery of, USE of deadly pesticides! Their existence is irreparably changing our lands and our wildlife, destroying habitat, poisoning lands and creatures, upsetting the balance in nature, depriving raptors, song birds, bats and foraging mammals of natural nutrients in living soils...All for Corporate Gain! Disgraceful and disgusting.
It's time that we protect these workers from these dangerous chemicals, no matter what the creed, nationality, or documentation status. They grow our food and should be held in the highest regards.
Protecting these workers also protects our food.
Please protect Humanity!
There needs to be criminal prosecution for failure to implement proper safe guards and violating established safety practices. Eliminating harmful pesticides and over use is essential for everyone's best interest and health.
When we protect Farm Workers, we help ensure that we don't have to pay for expensive medical bills or lawsuits later on down the road.

My profession is adult education -­‐-­‐ mostly in the workplace. We need high quality training, well-­‐
funded and tied to effectiveness measures and work outcomes. This is especially lacking in small businesses (such as smaller farms) and in worksites for people who work with their hands.
CA

The people who plant, tend and harvest our food need to be treated in a just and equitable manner so that they can live dignified, safe, healthy lives. They need to be among the highest paid workers in our society and well protected!!!

You are waaayy late. YOU ARE SUPOSSED TO PROTECT US-­‐ or are you also in bed with the corporate lobbyists?
This is the humane thing to do for people who pick our food. Do the right thing here and protect farm workers.

I live in an area where there are many fields and farm workers. I see and smell the pesticides. The "protective" gear of the farm workers are long sleeved hooded sweatshirts, Levis and gloves. This is obviously not enough and of course does not address the likely damage done to their lungs. I find the lack of safety measures to protect these workers shameful.

This dilatory, "Let's ignore it and hope it goes away" lack of action on the part of the EPA is simply NOT ACCEPTABLE!
Many pesticides are endocrine disrupters. Our endocrine system are complex and not well understood. Pesticide consequences are not well-­‐
known.
I question who the EPA are protecting. They always seem to be on the industry side of events. I wonder who could be gaining financially.
I was raised on a farm. I know what goes on. Not good. Changes are needed to protect farmers and their workers.

Fieldworkers are exposed to toxic chemicals & pesticides. There needs to be some oversight and protection for these vulnerable workers.
This is important!
These are human beings that deserve to work without getting harmed. 13 years is unacceptable! Get it together -­‐ or get out!
The pesticides themselves need to reviewed in light of the known hazards to field workers, health care workers need to recognize the often subtle signs of pesticide exposure, and the bioassessment of toxins in workers and their children's blood should be monitored.

I am someone who is very sensitive to chemicals. For example, I am allergic to latex, and I get nauseated from petrochemical fumes. I live in an agricultural area and have respiratory difficulties at particular times of the year when agricultural spraying is taking place. And I don't even work in the fields! We need to be much more careful about what we spray on the foods people eat and on the fields where people work. Thank you.

I am A nurse at Natividad Hospital in Salinas Calif. and work with the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, where we admit many premature infants of women who work in the fields here in Monterey County...We also admit a more then fair share of infants with birth abnormalities...( for this size hospital)...I can't help to think that pregnant women who work in the fields proximal to thiese toxic pesticides are at greater risk for these kind of birth problems. Not to mention that most of these field workers are not offered any sort of medical coverage from the companies that hire them. So that means that the state medical is picking up the bill......Which is $1500.00 per day not including pharmacy charges....So DO THE RIGHT THING!!!!!!
CA
We have waited long enough!!!!

I've seen workers in the fields dusted with God knows what poison. This needs to stop!
This basic protection for farm workers is long overdue!
We have to stop making ourselves and our land sick by the misuse of pesticides.
Take better care of the bees and the workers.
We are a country that subscribes to ...Freedom and justice for all. This includes farmworkers.

The pesticides of the past continue to surface in farms today. They were permitted until way too late to reverse the harm. DDT, PCBs and the rest were all 'thought' to be safe and are injuring people years after they stopped. The same is true for current chemical compounds in use on crops where people live and work. Move. Forward. Or we all persish!
CA
CA

Of course, it's time to wean agriculture from pesticides altogether!
zero pesticides should be the goal. Zero Monsanto, Dow, Syngenta or other seeds that have built in pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides. Stop poisoning our workers and food supply. You perpetuate disease.

I understand that the EPA is perennially understaffed and barraged by requests to do more / do better. But this particular issue is important. People's lives and health are at stake. And despite the agriculture lobby's message, I for one do not mind paying a little more for groceries so that farmworkers can receive basic rights.

It's ridiculuos the amount of pesticides are used. Organic farmers can grow beautiful food without using dangerous GMO and poisoned seeds. Why not learn from them?
CA
More and more I am switching to organics because of the poisons used on conventionally grown food. I would encourage conventional growers to discontinue pesticide use. It is simply poisoning ourselves and our environment.
Do YOUR GD Job and enforce your own policies and Rules
Farmworkers should be protected and nobody should forget that they are the ones harvesting the food that comes to our tables!!
Growers and State officials, underfunded or disinterested will not enforce laws consistently. When States cannot or will not act, it is the job of the Federal government to protect workers.

The way farm workers are treated is unconsciounable: They perform one of our most vital & time-­‐sensitive services in providing our food supply, and do such back-­‐breaking work every day, often in hot sun, that very very few white people can tolerate it for more than a couple of days.
Farm workers suffer many indignities & insults & lack of appreciation for what they do, but to seriously compromise their health with toxic pesticides is criminal as well as the height of ingratitude. The greater protection of farm workers is a HUMAN RIGHTS SCANDAL not appropriate to this country, if any. PLEASE insure that appropriate regulatory changes are made, and ENFORCED!!

Promote organic -­‐ better for everyBODY, now and for the future
make agro business pay for medical help for those harmed by pesticides...and maybe they will be banned entirely
This is also why we should be going organic everywhere.
Please take care of these workers they deserve our care and protection.
It is time for the EPA to protect these Worker's. How dare you Mr. Perciasepe allow this to continue, maybe you and your family should get out in the fields and start picking the fruit and vegetables, maybe then you will start to understand the importance of protecting these workers. Shame on you !!!!

Come on! Do your job!
We the people want and demand organic fruits and vegetables!! We stand by our farmers!!!
Once we protect the farm workers, we will also protect children who are the most susceptible to the affects of pesticides. We need to look at the environmental causes of the increased diseases, cancers, autism, Parkinson's, learning disabilities, to name a few. There is a correlation between toxic pesticides and the ailments mentioned above. Please protect our communities now!

Protect not ont the farm workers how physically come into contact with the pesticides, but also the communities that breathe it in and the consumers that eat it. Last but not least is also impacts our wild life. No excuses for this wide use of toxins unless you are voluntarily putting the country up for mass human testing. How far can we go until too many people get sick and die prematurely. Unacceptable.

Being a farm worker should not mean sacrificing oneself to the cancer risks of pesticides. Safety for farm workers should be a top priority. Reducing the use of poisons on our food should be another.
Workers deserve to be protected from the hazards of poisonous and carcenogenic pesticides!
Those who provide us with food should not have to live with these health risks.
Valerie
Pesticide Action Network
Worker protection from pesticides is very important to the health of those who harvest our food-­‐-­‐and also to those of us who buy and eat this food.
There is just no excuse for not making our country, people and food safe. Please do the right thing...thank you
It's bad enough we have no protection now against GMOs -­‐ can we at least not be poisoned directly too?

Work on using all natural pesticides, they do exist right in front of us.
Less cancer, more prevention, pest control with caution
The workers are most likely not going to be able to afford the $1,000,000 in health care that my insurance provided when I got non-­‐Hodgkin's lymphoma. So you better focus on prevention to keep them alive and healthy. Have a conscience. Do the right thing.

As a couple (and many of our seven children) we have supported farmworkers for almost 40 years. We continue to demand our State & Federal government to complete the support & enforcement of laws protecting the farm workers & their families.

Please put the health of people first before the interests of those that sell these products. Please hear the people louder than thee lobbyists who do not represent the people/

Even these measure are too lenient! These farm workers are risking their lives working in the field. Our nation should invest in organic farming, and save the lives of workers and those who consume pesticides in their food.

Label GMO products for the consumers. What's there to hide other than the fact that these "Genetically Altered" foods are not the health risk, its the far more dangerous chemicals being formulated that non-­‐GMO's cannot withstand. If current, so called, safe herbicides and pesticides approved by the FDA are causing health problems and killing crops then new chemical resistant plants could be sprayed with extremely toxic products without the publics knowledge. This is a game of unconscionable and inexcusable behavior that solidifies the reality that "Democracy Demands Dysfunction" at any cost of environmental, human, plant and animal life.

We are being POISONED and KILLED for $$$.
We are supposed to progress and make a better world for every living thing. This includes humans to bees, and everything in between. Please get it right, our existence depends on it.
Stop poisoning our food with pesticides and other chemicals
So many newly-­‐arrived immigrant farm workers are so poor and so desperate for work that may not be aware, or care for the moment, that they are being exposed to all sorts of harmful chemical substances. As a survivor of cancer, it matters to me that others be protected from dangerous substances. Not all of us are lucky.
Time and again often through subcontractors the agriculture industry has been shown to exploit workers. The industry on it's own has not taken these necessary steps to protect farm workers so you must now make it law.

How much suffering! How many sad days knowing that people who could make a difference did nothing while workers were exposed to dangerous pesticides? How does it make you feel to go to policy parties and get slapped on the back for doing a good job?
It's hard to believe how long it takes for government to protect people. Political reps are responsible for the high health care cost that our country is burdened with. Their priorities are out of order. I support stronger protection and enforcement of these protection standards for workers and families!

As a hospital chef for one of this nation's top healthcare systems, a mother and grandmother, I strive to ensure the foods I serve is safe for all, from field to fork. Workers in our country's fields deserve much better protection than they are getting. Your win on this issue will have far reaching benefits, helping us all. Timely pesticide information is also needed for actions to address the declining bee population, which greatly threatens our nation's ag economy. Significantly stronger enforcement of pesticide safety standards is essential for so many reasons. Know the challenges are huge. Thanks for your efforts to prevail nonetheless.

Also protect the bees. Two recent studies confirm that two pesticides injure bee brains. Stop their use please. Farms need bees!
Pesticides are not only harmful to farm workers but to all living organisms. Pesticides are poisoning our waters, air and soil. Cancer rates continue to increase among the USA population. Why is this problem allowed to continue?

My Masters Degree project was devising a program to meet the needs of crop and field workers in California fields and protection from pesticide spraying was part of the presentation. This was is 1992 and I've had my degree all these years, but the field workers still suffer from poisonous dousings of pesticices and chemicals. This fact doesn't have to be. There are standards that can be enforced to protect these people. I urge strengthening of protections for our fodd workers.

Stop using pesticides. it's killing the bugs and mutating humans and our eco system.
They use diluted Agent Orange on some of these fields! Enough said!

In regards to protecting farm workers from pesticides, I am calling for an immediate increase in levels of safety. As a consumer of these products, I find it appauling that the agricultural industry is not already at the maximum levels of safety on a voluntary basis. Let's change that and do what we know is the right thing.

Dear Ms. McCarthy; WHY ISN'T THE EPA DOING ITS JOB!? IF THE EPA CANNOT DO THE JOB IT IS ASSIGNED TO DO THEN IN MY OPINION THE TEA PARTY IS CORRECT, CLOSE IT DOWN! YOU ARE IN BED WITH THE PESTICIDE INDUSTRY AND THAT IS NOT IN THE INTERESTS OF AMERICANS OR OUR AGRICULTURE. PUT AMERICA'S HEALTH FIRST!
CA
Pesticides should be banned! They are destroying our environment, good insects, birds and making humans sick.
I am also concerned about the effects of pesticides on 'good' insects, such as bees, birds and bats. We are destroying the eco system with unnecessary poisons.
I wish the government would start caring more about the citizens of America!
and protection from pesticides for BEES too !
This is wrong! We are all human.

Pesticides are also harmful to other residents of the community. A fire last fall in Ventura County, CA, released chemicals from a storage shed, and spread them to thickly settled residential areas. People were told to shelter-­‐in-­‐place, but those who were away from home or work didn't get the news.

It is a constant struggle for our Government to act responsibly. Please say a prayer for our future generations.
HI
This is an outrage as well as our government allowing companies like Monsanto to take over our farming system. It's wrong on so many levels. YOU need to fix this NOW!
We must help these workers who are so vital to the food we put on the table. Please don't leave a legacy of inaction around this important issue.
Pesticides harm everyone who grows and eats the crops.
THINK ABOUT HOW YOU FEED YOUR FAMILY AND HOW YOU WOULD WANT THEM PROTECTED!!!!
If its not safe to work in the fields how are you going to eat whats produced there and feed it to your kids?
We need to stop poisoning the people who grow and pick our food.

I worked in the fields when i was a child. I got very ill with very swollen glands etc. I am sure it was the pesticides and civilized countries that can afford to, BAN THEM. Safety rules are a bandaid but they are the absolute minimum!
Not protecting these workers is unforgivable.
The lack of movement on these rule is sick, disgusting and inhuman. Get off your duffs and take care of these people@@@@!!!!
Eat organic due to the pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, all on our insides causing cancers.

Many pesticides are extremely toxic to food workers and the people who eat the food. We are tired of corporate profiteers bribing the government. Listen to the scientists not the profiteers!

Better yet, eliminate all toxic substances used in our food.
Also suggest moving away from pesticides completely. They're not safe. If economics is the only consideration, we're paying for their use in health costs.
Hold the line.

Pesticides are killing both farmworkers and consumers. There are more natural ways of protecting our food supply.

We are talking about human beings not tractors & plows. People seem to be more concerned about the welfare of animals. We use our brothers & sisters to tend our crops while our governments hunt them down for deportation ; separating families and destroying lives. Have We Become A Nation Of Heathens?

If it is not healthy for the workers, it is not healthy for the consumers. We need to protect everyone in the chain.
spray DOW and Monsanto Chemical companies. With their chemicals. no one else just them their factories and offices,
I have tried to sign other petitions concerning this. I buy mostly organic but I wonder so much about the workers who have to come in direct contact with the pesticides. If there were really another option for them I think that they would choose something safer, so we need to make it safer for them, it is also consumer responsibility. Thanks.
It's a human rights issue -­‐ stop poisoning ag workers.

What is the real price of our food? Less toxic but as effective pesticides are in the pipeline. However, they may be years down the line. We must switch immediately to less toxic pest management systems now. We have gigantic food surpluses for now. Is it worth the neurological brain damage these workers are receiving from our desire to save a few pennies on a loaf of bread?

Unbelievable that after so many years with dire messages of complaint from all across the nation about the terrible harm of pesticide use and lack of control and protections for the public, the EPA is still not doing its job. Field workers especially are in
terrible danger. EPA get off your butts and do your
job now!
Workers have to be protected from unnecessary exposure to harmful chemicals.This affect all specially a overburden health care system.

Without farmworkers Americans would have limited food supplies, and/or food that is priced significantly higher. These folks deserve protections from pesticides. Strengthen the Worker Protection Standards, please!
I'm from New Mexico, an agricultural state. We need a much stronger structure to protect ag workers from not knowing the dangers of pesticide exposure.
ot
Protect these hard workers from the dangers of pesticides.
Ban pesticides -­‐ they are killing off our bees. No more bees and we lose 75% of our food.

I was poisoned by pesticides and almost died. It took 7 years to recover. Why we even put these known poisons on the food we eat is very questionable. I grew food as an organic farmer-­‐ it's possible, and needs strong support.
how can anyone justify exposing any worker at all to these dangerous chemicals without protection!!!!!! liz

We doñ´t need a Hitler to exterminate people. The government does a good job.
This is NO joke!
Those not exposed to dangerous chemicals in the workplace should be grateful for that, and anxious to see all workers getting the same protections. We'd want as much for our pets!
These workers are human beings who work hard, and sometimes in intense weather conditions. Plus they are of reproductive age and we must think about what these dangerous chemicals could do to the workers, as well as their children. Let's do the right thing here; its only ethical!
Stop allowing the poisoning of people !!! Do your job! Not the bidding of industry, WE pay you, they only bribe you.
Protecting farm workers, and farmers, from pesticides should be one of the priorities of the EPA. I hope you'll take action on this issue immediately.
Pesticides are dangerous.
As a child, I came from a farming family. I know the risks are there, and now as a health professional, I understand how critical it is that we take action to protect everyone against the effects of pesticides. Please, take action NOW.

This nation was built on the backs of and through the toils of farming families. Unfortunately, family farms have nearly disappeared, but there are still farmworkers and thier families who need and deserve effective protection from dangerous and lethal chemicals/pesticides/herbicides while providing life-­‐sustaining food to our citizens and to those we export to.

This is an ongoing life threatening hazard that needs to get dealt with, even though the chemical companies don't want congress to touch this for fear it might reduce their profits. Safety is more important than the chemical companies profits.
People today are still suffering from the harmful affects of pesticides like DDT that stays in the body and in the environment for decades. This EPA needs to shut down the pesticide industry in favor of seeds and techniques that eliminate pesticide use altogether. Unfortunately, too much money from big corporations rule EPA and many government agencies charged with public and environmental protection. Is this the EPA willing to step up to the plate or continue on with BAU.
Move more! Eat less! Eat organic! Fowl IS foul! Pork is for porkers! Milk is for babies! Beer is good food! If it isn't organic, the poisons & suicide are included in the price! ~ mikewondoctrine ~
It's about time something is done to protect workers who are putting food on our tables!
Thank you for your consideration of this very important matter.
It is shocking that we have to organize and push for these protections. For goodness sake, do this!

Less pesticides should be used in general. Organic farming methods are a safer and healthier alternative for all.
Why aren't these places shut down? Just another millionaire making money hand over fist, but his help can be poisoned to death.
Knowingly exposing workers to pesticides that can damage a person's health is cruel. Everyone needs to have access to information about the effects of pesticides.
All of these safety standards should be a 'stop gap' to the ultimate elimination of these pesticides.

We have TOO many pesticides!
Surely you elected and appointed officials and EPA leaders in this fine country of America CARE about the people who work so hard to feed us! Chemical Pesticides have been proven to cause harm to people, animals AND our food. Please CARE more about the farmers, their families and other Americans than you do about outdated policies. Please be aggressive in your actions to protect us from these pesticides. Thank you very much. VJ
Be more efficient and fix the rules to make them truly protective.

Please use your position to act with integrity and safety for future generations. thank you
I think the EPA rule about safety from chemical harm should apply to everyone and not exclude farm workers. Better yet, get rid of the chemicals they are using.
Agricultural workers need the same protections -­‐-­‐a safe workplace-­‐-­‐just like any other worker. They should not be denied this right.

Stand up to Monsanto!!! No more chemicals or pesticides!!!

The fact that farmworkers are not adequately protected against pesticides, after decades of advocacy to protect the workers, is a national embarrassment.
Allan
Beverly
It is unconscionable to allow the purveyors of dangerous chemicals to endanger the health of any people or animals.
UT
Also, we need to use other methods of pest control, natural ones. Companion planting, whatever it takes. We are what we eat, breathe, touch.
Farmworkers suffer inordinately the effects of pesticides since they often not just work, but also live, close to the fields where they are applied and suffer the longterm health consequences of it. These can and do include birth defects, sterility, immune problems, allergies.
Please use your authority to protect field workers in the US.
EPA do the job you spend so much on every year! Protect us all from these deadly pesticides. Farmers, pickers and consumers!

some of the farm workers' children in Oxnard, Ca., were having the same problems as the SEABEEs and their children....the SEABEEs had deployed to Iraq....these pesticides and herbicides effect adults and their offspring as the Agent Orange et al herbicides etc did to those who served in SE Asia and those who live there now....SHAME!
It would be even better if Pesticides did not have to be used at all, but since that is unlikely, at least let's be safe about the use.

It's time to look at reduction of pesticide use in agriculture.
It amazes me that 13 years ago, these issues were extremely important, then, and STILL ARE, today, and NOT ADDRESSED, as of YET. MONEY, POWER, & ELITISM makes VERY, selfish and blind management. Do You Think,,,,YOU....COULD....Break that Pattern? Thank you,,,&,,,,GOOD LUCK.
WHY has there been so much delay in stopping intense exposure to pesticides?? WHY are the heavy pesticides used in the first place?? We are ALL being poisoned by these horrible terrible awful pesticides. There needs to be a very low limit on how much can be applied. All that is coming from applications is more sick people, more pesticide resistant bugs and weeds and more useless soil. Please stand up like men and take responsibility for the sickened folks who work directly with these heavy poisons! Protect them and us!!
Not taking action is in effect murder.
How about stopping the flagrant use of unnecessary pesticides!
Please do the right thing, protect them. Without them what we eat?
Individuals should not have to sue our government to get them to implement laws. Do your job.

Everyone knows the EPA is owned by industry, including teh worst polluters and toxic chemical companies. Why not surprise us with actually doing your job?
Pesticides SHOULD NOT BE USED ON CROPS AMERICANS CONSUME. THEY HURT EVERYONE ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO PLANT AND HARVEST THESE CROPS. WHY ISN'T WPS ENFORCED??? LIVES ARE AT STAKE. FROM MY POINT OF VIEW THESE WORKERS ARE TREATED LIKE SLAVES. IT IS UNTHINKABLE THAT AMERICAN GROWERS CAN BE SO CALLOUS, CRUEL AND UNCARING. THIS SITUATION MUST BE REMEDIED AND SOON. LET THE WPS BE ENFORCED NOW.

How is it possible that we who benefit from the hard work of these farm workers do not owe them AT LEAST this bit of respect? Please pass legislation that will make there jobs safer. Heaven knows they are paid nothing-­‐-­‐but at least let their work be safe from poisoning.
Please stop using pesticides in our foods.It is harming us and the farmers.
Would you expose your children to these chemicals?
NO to pesticides, GMOs, Fracking do your job for the people not the corporations.
Not to forget the bees, either. Bad news all around.
Whatever happened to doing the right thing simply because it is the right thing to do? No one wants pesticides in their food or water. We can do better.
farm workers must be protected from harmful chemicals!

Do not let attacks on the EPA stop all the important anti-­‐toxic legislation the EPA is now more and more willing to tackle and to issue protections for US workers, farmers and all people who are near growing fields, and who eat food which means protection for all of us. The EPA is on a good trend of safety protections for all animals, soils and all people. We have grown grave risks from over-­‐
subsidizing creation of poisons: drugs, pesticides, GMO's, New unconventional oils like fracking and new ways to pipe fuels through our lands that cannot be stopped without the insistent work of the EPA. We thank an active EPA safeguarding the people's health and their enabling the funding of new green technologies and green chemistry. The EPA should continue in this trend, including the implementation of biomimicry solutions that use benign nature's no-­‐waste design to solve the problems too long solved with toxic chemicals and toxic procedures including factory farms and their unconscionable treatment of animals. People, food, animals and toxins do not combine well. We need to keep our health actively supervised, and the EPA is warming up to their charge. Fix the broken rules and legislation: Give the EPA even more power to do so.
Time to protect the people with no voice.
My husband, bob, his sister, Helen and my brother, Monrad all have Parkinson's from DDT sprayed on Iowa farm crops in the 40's-­‐50's.
Now Bob is in a wheelchair and seldom talks. Stop pesticide use!!!!!!!
do unto others......

Our farmworkers are the workers who provide us with the food we eat. The total abuse of their health is inexcusable. Please protect our farmworkers and their families.

Please act quickly -­‐ documentation of the health consequences associated with pesticide exposure starts with birth defects and stillbirth and goes through lifelong debilitating illness and premature death in adults.
It's time to address this.

I think if you look at your charter you'll find that it requires you, the EPA, to protect the environment and public health, NOT corporate profits. Please act accordingly.
It is simple, just ban pesticides. It is not good for bees, for any wild lives, for human, for the environment. We don't want the farmers to be exposed to these toxic products when they are working. We don't want our kids to be exposed to these toxic products when they are biting in a fruit. Thanks

Please do this for our children!
Pesticides not only run into the streams and contribute to health problems, but have been known to leave bees confused so they can't find their hives. Bees are some of our best pollinators!
Farm workers are people too. they deserve protection!
I am a physician with a background in environmental chemistry. So this is an area of impoortance to me personally.
How about ban GMO's and pesticides
WE the people have spoken....

Safety for human beings is not too much to ask.
NONE of us should be exposed to pesticides in our food, and to allow farmworkers to be exposed in their daily work is unacceptable. Please put an immediate stop to this.
EPA is not charged to protect crops. It is charged to protect the environment. The environment can grow crops quite nicely without pesticides. Stop the poisons. We need a healthy ecosystem in the soil. You are killing that with your current policies. Stop the poisons.

EPA want to flex the rules in order for them to allow stronger pesticides in the fields; but why not when those in the field are from south of the border. After all they are not American so we don’t need to protect them. Special Interest Groups fill politicians pockets thus obscuring their though process.

This delay in protecting those who eke out an existence as part of our food supply chain is shameful and not consonant with what I'd like our country to be.

Please fix this terrible situation. Act humanely! These workers should not be penalized with diminished health laboring in American farms. Shameful!

What would we do without the farm workers? They are human beings, with bodies that work like ours. A country's strength is measured by how they treat their most vulnerable. Strengthen these laws NOW!
Are we delaying these protections because farmworkers are seen as less in the eyes of the law? They need protection from peseticides and in fact we ALL need protection from many of the pesticides being used today.
Environmental PROTECTION Agency, remember?
I believe chemical pesticide and fertilizer is harmful for the whole system. All living things in this planet. It polution in so many levels. Changing our food that is to give us nutrition into an unhealthy product causing harm.
People who pick our food are just that, people. They shouldn't have to risk exposure to pesticides to do this important job! Please protect these people. They are picking our food. Thank you.
This has been a problem for decades and needs to be corrected

We should also screen the workers who have direct contact with fumigated plants, with diagnostic testing which can detect early on degenerative conditions and must also include follow-­‐up to correct any deleterious effects. As an Applications Epidemiologist I strong advise that an ounce in prevention is worth not only a pound of cure, but cost savings as well, not to mention the mitigating of human suffering.

time to get real!
Farm workers provide huge profits for their employers, but they are not cogs in an industrial wheel. We are talking here about very hard working, skilled individuals and about young children. These people are more important than any Wall Street profit sheet.
How many farm workers have died since 2000 because the proposed "Worker Protection Standards" was not finalized and approved? How many more will have to die before any action is taken to protect them? This is outrageous for a country, that is considered such a humane one to stall the passage of this protection act!
Workers deserve safe working environments. Please do your part.
TX
TX
TX

TX

Please make sure there is better protection for farmworkers from dangerous pesticides.
Grocery shoppers are heading in large numbers to organics. Financially, protecting workers and the public will save us money.
Have you forgotten the word "Protection" in your name? In what way does lowering standards for one segment of our workforce protect them? Ideally, you would really do your job by eliminating the use of these poisons entirely, but the very least you should do is protect those who are required to be directly exposed to them.
TX
TX
TX
I support the protection of farm workers, and I also support their protection and every other family's protection at home. More protection includes more regulation of pesticides used on our food. Sustainable farming!

Farm workers? Hell! Protect FARMERS AND THEIR FAMILIES! That is of course, there are any 'family farms' left.
Human dignity and Respect is to be earned by the will of the diversified human of mankind.
Si se Puede stands firm, with it's "salt of the earth" ideological parent, "The United Farm Workers of North America, Whereas, Si se Puede of today is of those who will lead, and those who will follow; corporate for profit or none profit are of third party to political concerns of humankind in America today as Si se Puede must now prove it is capable of unifying the American immigrant into a unified democratic movement to over through the Republican label from American politics in 2014, para que viva mi gente, del origen humano.~ArturoCortez

Why not change the way food is produced so fewer pesticides will be needed?

Farmers are too important to our survival to leave them unprotected because of massive redtape. Act with caution but expeditiously.
Consumers as well as workers need protection from pesticides and pesticides residue.
Farm workers need protection from unhealthy pesticides. it is time to pass revised Worker Protection Standards for this important group. They feed us, after all.
Stop protecting ADM, Cargill and other nefarious companies!
It has been proven that organic produce can feed more people than conventional. But, the least that can be done is to regulate the use of pesticides so that farm workers aren't exposed to more than necessary.
We owe our workers these protections.

I fear for the people all over the world who eat, work with, and are exposed to pesticides. Pesticides used in farming are full of unregulated and unknown chemicals, including many carcinogenics. It's time for all of us to find out what's in our nation's foods and pesticides..

Dawdling on implementing a system of safeguards does damage to the earth, workers, and food that is involved in the production.

My brother and I own a 70 acre farm here in Oklahoma. We strongly wast the EPA to update the Farm worker Protection rules and to issue Best Practices Guidelines to help us farm owners become better stewards of the ecology of the land and workers. Thank you. Peggy Malone

Those who put the "bottom line" above people will end up being buried below their bottom line.
These workers deserve protection as much as any CEO of a multinational corporaton. Please provide it for them.
PESTICIDES NEED TO BE USED LESS, AND IN SMALL AMOUNTS.....WE USED THEM WAY TOO MUCH, AND NOT SPARINGLY AS WE SHOULD.
THESE ARE PEOPLE, AND SHOULD NOT BE TREATED LIKE WHAT THE GREEDY WOULD CALL SLAVES. WORKERS ARE NOT INFERIOR PERSONS TO BE TREATED BADLY IN THE NAME OF GREED, NOT PROFIT, BUT GREED. TODAY IT SEEMS THAT MOST EMPLOYERS ARE NOT HAPPY WITH A REASONABLE PROFIT, BUT WANT 98% PROFIT, JUST PLAIN GREEDY, AND GET THE HIGH PROFIT AT ANY COST!

Please do what is right and protect the people.
This si the backbone (and stomach ) of America-­‐-­‐we need to help them all we can for ALL of our sakes!
Every human deserves safe and reasonable protections against any forms of pesticides used on farms or in fields where they work. That is the least we can do and should do. What is this neglect that has been happening? Shame again for the U.S. and it's reputation for disrespect of humans and families! Please do something to help all those who help us. It's hard work!
Fire Dr. Stephen Bradbury, who is master of double speak and delay. He has lied to Congress and he needs to be replaced by someone who has allegiance to the people of America and not to Bayer Crop Science, Dow Chemical and all the other big corporations.

Monsanto, your families will be eating the poisons you promote and you will see them get sick, die. And so will you get sick and die.
It's unconscionable that this key segment of the workforce which helps to feed us daily lacks these basic protections for their (and their children's) health. It's bad enough that they're paid so little for such backbreaking work; poisoning them is just too much. If putting basic, humanitarian protections in place raises the price of food by a tiny amount, I think that's a fair trade for us all to make. I don't want to live at someone else's expense.
Quit stalling and get it done!
No more acting like farmworkers are subhuman!
The Pesticide industry profits off making our food less safe and destroying local ecosystems in addition to creating health issues for workers. i am a lifelong Republican who owns a farm and i know this.

Best idea would be to stop all pesticide usage, go Natural and have all foods be Organic, and No GMO manipulation!!! I have great compassion for these workers, and all of the natural world and humans dying from these pesticides! The EPA hasn't protected us for many years, do something now!
Chemicals and food supply ie crops should not go hand in hand. Chemicals on our food causes CANCER doesn't the EPA understand this? Remove chemicals GO ORGANIC, and LABEL GMOs so that we have the our basic RIGHT TO KNOW what we are consuming. EPA and FDA it is your job to PROTECT not POISON our food supply Stop taking Monsanto's threats and money to keep quiet, stand up for what is right. Very concerned about this Nation's food supply and having Monsanto, a chemical company involved in our FDA and EPA. Tamara St. Louis, MO

Please support the health and safety of farmworkers and their families. I'm counting on you. Thank you for caring.
The current worker Protection Standards are dated and inadequate to protect worker health and safety.

Although I live in town, fields are only a block away. I know what it is to smell the pesticides. I can't imagine what it would be like to be sprayed with it.
I live in a family, that has all of my parent's generation growing up on farms. All of my aunts, uncles and mother had one form of cancer or another. They were the first generation to grow up with commercial fertilizers and pesticides. Their parents mostly died of heart disease, no cancer.

Band GMO
Would you want those you love to experience this ? Guess what , we are all effected one way or another & it is getting worse.
P)lease do what is right !
Not only are there harmful affects directly to the handlers, but also to our whole eco-­‐system; which affect air, water and our bee population. The only way this will work is to ban Monsanto and all of their pesticides everywhere.

It seems to me that additional studies are not needed to determine that a little poison kills a little. For over 100 years the detrimental effect of toxic chemicals on the body has been known and yet the enforcement is still decided by industry not science and the lives of people.

We have a right to safe and healty food
better yet . . . forbid or make rulings i.e. laws that forbid the use of hydrocarbon laden fertilizers and other additives to our food supply, also, forbid or make rulings i.e. laws against factory farms. that way antibiotics can be used for the ill human beings without fear that antibiotics can not cure ill human beings.
Most importantly, try using less pesticide. Not just for the workers but for the consumers as well.

I am currently writing a book on the subject of pesticide exposures and childhood cancers, autism, ADHD, IQ deficits, birth defects, and other maladies; the research very clearly shows that children of farmworkers fare far worse than the average public in those categories, even though virtually every person in the United States tests positive for these chemicals, sometimes at high levels. It is a violation of human rights to pollute people, particularly innocent children, in a way that makes them ill. Cesar Chavez asked for protections nearly thirty years ago: http://www.ufw.org/_page.php?menu=research&in
c=history/10.html But still, people are poisoned, become ill, and die. My own daughter died of leukemia we have every reason to believe was caused by pesticide exposure: she only lived eight years. These people *cannot* afford to wait for protection. Not doing so is tantamount to manslaughter.

Organic is best for everyone, everywhere, every species. You KNOW better.
Why should anyone care about poisoning these people? Big corporations need to make money to pay astronomical bonuses to the top executives.
I would also like to see the use of pesticides diminished significantly. It is dangerous for the health of people and wildlife.

Pesticides (umbrella term), especially the three most used pesticides, Glyphosate, Neonics (synthetic nicotine) and Chlorothalonil (a fungicide made with a banned fungicide and cyanide combined) have been proven to be responsible for nearly all of the most common health problems that affect humans, domestic animals and wildlife. Pesticide handlers and their families are at especially great risk. Far less pesticides should be used and with much better protection for field workers, including pesticide handlers.
We need to protect the farm workers of America. A group that makes relatively little money and works extremely hard needs and deserves a safe working environment.

Fix the rules on pesticides. It will make them safer to use for all of us, and it will make them more affective.

There needs to be limits on how much of these pesticides are allowed to be used a season. This indiscriminate use of pesticides is very harmful to many more species than the targeted pests. Natural methods should be used rather than these poisons!

We are all being poisoned, especially the unborn and our children.
For all they do for us, the consumers, we owe them protection and a whole lot more. RESPECT!!!!!
Pesticides can be as dangerous as wars.

Farmers work so hard to bring us healthy and nutritious food. They need and deserve protection from dangerous and poisonous pesticides just like everyone else. Please protect our farmers and our future.
Please help others help themselves!
Pesticides on our land and food are damaging people's lives.Continuing without proper enforcement will cost us in health care payments.
We are responsible to those who are supporting our needs!
It is time to cut down on the use of pesticides to protect all our citizens. We need more sustainable farming practices.

It is common sense to protect people from poisonous chemicals, except to greedy corporations and the greedy politicians who protect them! Do the right thing and protect farmworkers and our citizens at large from these toxins!

All families have the right to healthy working conditions and protections -­‐ and especially those who generously provide for our food at low wages. Who is pocketing the wealth at the expense of what they consider "expendable workers"?
MN

Also some real action for the sake of the bees is necessary. We must remember that all life and people are interrelated.
I am for an increase in safety precautions for all field workers.
This is urgent because we need to save peoples health and the planet we live on. Please do what you can and do not let big business stop you from doing what is right. Thank you for all you do to protect our environment.

Monsanto, in particular, is trying to gain a monopoly on seeds and trying to create a dependence on both their seeds, and their pesticides, and herbicides. It is ridiculous for them to sue farmers when genetic drift happens because of their mutated GMO crops. They need to be stopped, and have their heads examined. They want to think they are exceptional, but what they are is exceptionally aggressive and greedy, which means they are exceptionally frightened of anything or anyone they can't control. The two enemies of freedom are people who want to control everyone and everything around them, and the people who don't believe they have to control themselves at all. It is no coincidence that these two traits can almost always be found in the same person or persons. The heads of Monsanto and Dow are just such people.

What I eat should not make the workers sick or myself.
So important, not only for workers but for our butterflies, insects, bees, ecosystem and beyond. Our survival depends on a sustainable environment, not one that kills all the pollinators of our food source and ones we depend on for life itself.

Safe work enviroment needs to be accessible to every person.
I just read a book that detailed episodes of pesticide poisoning of workers that live close to the fields that are being sprayed and it was a true horror story. The disregard for the farmworkers is appalling.
Please stop the harm we are doing to our farmers and our fields.
Please provide excellent and well-­‐monitored safeguards and protections -­‐ health, work safety -­‐ for the farm workers, the hard workers who help put food on our tables. Do the right thing!
you better not let Monsanto in!!!

This so possible if you have the will.
And while you're at it, take a look at the science on neonicotinoids. You'll find that they're much more toxic (to bees, pollinators, birds, etc) than we've been led to believe...and the science was there before it was registered.
No one should have to breathe these chemicals or have to deal with them in any way. They are poisonous!
I have multiple myeloma -­‐ a blood cancer-­‐ My Mayo clinic doctor said I got it from pesticides. I will never see remission or elimination of this cancer. It will kill me. No pesticides. None.

That poorly paid farmworkers, who have few resources to seek legal redress or medical care would feel a disproportionate burden of toxic pesticide exposure is a huge injustice. They deserve safe working conditions.
What if it were your family. Do the right thing. Put into action what goodness we elected you for.

Protect Our World, and Children and People, ad Animals and the SOIL. Way Too Many Pesticides are USED. Stop Polluting our Earth!
The farm workers and their families need to be protected from the toxic pesticides they are surrounded by. I urge you to do the right thing and pass these improved Worker Protection Standards without delay. It is the humane and decent thing to do.
These actions will work to protect the most vulnerable workers in our food supply system. Thank you.
Do it because it is the right thing to do.
The Obots are no better than the Bushbots!! Kill the Beanner!!
Protect consumers not corporate elite. Why make them even richer when all it does is make the rest of us poorer?

While these issues are extremely important to all those who work with these crops, they are also extremely important to every individual who touches, eats and ingests any and all vegetables and fruits. It is extremely important; yes, critical, that the EPA fulfill it's obligatory "Mission Statement" and the Agency's and government mandate; specifically to protect the environment of not just the workers but of the United States' citizenry.
I have seen a child born to a farm worker couple which had a urinary system that didn't go anywhere, some of his organs were outside his body, his brain was exposed. Please take this seriously. Sincerely, John Hamer

Do you also want to kill off the tax payer/voter?
For workers, for farmers, for families!
Pesticides have created a legacy of pain, and misery, and death for farm workers and consumers alike. This problem needs to be admitted, faced, and regulated
All the pesticide rules need reforming. Manufacturers should have to prove they are safe and endpoints other than acute toxicity and cancer, such as immune deficiency and endocrine disruption for non-­‐target species, such as bees, otherwildlife and humans must be included.

The workers continue to be affected by the horrendous use of pesticides. The situation is unconscionable.
Make it about people, NOT money.
Farmworkers who MOVE tons of fruit and produce (so you can ALL ENJOY) need our HELP They need PROTECTION
this is not nearly enough, given the health effects I see daily in my family and friends who don't eat organic, but it is the least you can do to give a tiny bit of protection to workers who bear the worst of it.

Protect the farm workers, protect our food. End the use of pesticides, herbicides, all GMOs. Everything on this planet should be grown and used for whatever it benefits without changing, destroying of harming any life form. We do not own the earth we are just visiting and we should not be living any footprints, of any kind behind, Please do the right thing. Protect us from the greedy.
Go organic
I agree with this and not just for farmworkers. We live next to corporate farm fields and are very concerned about the pesticides/herbicides applied and the drift that results. My husband has lymphoma -­‐ the "farmer's cancer". We often wonder how much the chemicals applied in the adjoining field affected his health.
Protect these poor souls

I worked on farms through my high school and college years. Farmworkers, including myself, are often unaware of the specific pesticides used, and their health effects, and sometimes do not speak or read English. It's time to stop taking advantage of these hard-­‐working people who provide our food.

Eliminate ALL Poisons from food production PERIOD.
Please facilitate to adapt more safety measures so least residue, without any risk of health & environrment, should be passed on in food & feed commodities!
I worked as a nurse for the migrant farm workers many years ago and saw the effects of exposure to pesticides first hand. So many problems could be prevented by up to date information and sensible regulations.
I was a nurse for the migrant farm workers in Wisconsin. I saw first hand the birth defects caused by the pesticides in the fields they worked. I saw the premature births. I had to teach the workers to change their clothes before they could pick up their babies when coming out of the fields. I saw the sick children at day care on Monday mornings after they had been in the fields on the weekends. Information was 10 years behind times then. What happens to the workers will also happen to everyone who eats the food contaminated with pesticides. Please stop this from happening.
WI
PLEASE TAKE ACTION TO HELP YOUR FELLOW MAN.
Stop GMO and Chemical farming go organic or go away!

We all suffer from this contamination...even future generations who will have more and more health defects because we think we need these killers in our food system!
This should not have to have a petition written just to get such necessary protections put into place.
These measures shold have been in place a lng time ago! Do it now!
Leave the food alone that nature meant it to be...
This is important for growers as well as consumers.

We depend on farm workers to provide us with healthy, nutritious food that is no hazardous to our health. We need to protect their health as well.
Farm workers are some of the most important people in our workforce. They help us get food on our tables. They should be protected from toxic pesticides while they work.

It is the right thing to do to protect the people that grow the food that we eat. I urge you to take this seriously and take action now. Thank you for your support of our people.

This is basic, common sense. Production practices that endanger stakeholders are unacceptable. The pesticide chemicals are known to be dangerous. These, and other chemicals and toxins so pervasive in our society, are causing the extremely high cancer rates and other health problems that are observed in our society. The solutions to these toxin-­‐
originated problems are very simple, but not easy. Take a stand, EPA, and protect the workers and the public in general. The costs of EPA inaction are multiplied and currently being carried in our sky-­‐
high health care costs.

These pesticides are killing bees and hurting human health. We need strong rules that will keep this planet going.

I grew up on a farm and my family has been affected by diseases that are linked to pesticide exposure including Lymphoma, Leukemia and Parkinson's Disease.
Let's treat farmworkers the way we'd want to be treated if we were in their shoes and doing their work.

Please, to those who can, begin the process of valuing the life of a human being trying to make a wage over that of the ever increasing profits. Your soul will be happier, trust me!

I think we are all having increased cancer and other ailments from pesticides, but the farm workers are so terribly over exposed. It makes me feel guilty when I buy produce.
Stop allowing all use of any suspected cancer causing chemicals at the same time and protect all of us from the toxic exposure.
I have observed the tomato pickers returning from the fields with dried residue up their arms and pictures of the trauma to the skin from the pesticides. I have observed the toxic materials used in the strawberry fields in Florida. It is a risk to live in the nearby farm worker camps, let alone working in the fields. Since most farm workers return to their home countries in older age, I have been unable to find information about chronic diseases later in life.
I have witnessed farm workers with the stain of pesticides up their arms and pictures of the skin irritations.
I have watched fully clothed farm workers go out to the fields on warm/hot days and wonder how they ever tolerate the heat.
I wonder how the herbicides, in addition to the pesticides, are affecting the health of the farm workers.
Farm workers are most directly injured by dangerous pesticides. However, those toxic chemicals also harm people who eat the foods that are drenched in pesticides, and the people who live near farm fields where pesticides and herbicides are sprayed.

If so much time and money was invested to pass OSHA, why is the American farm worker not protected?

These chemicals are very damaging to people. Handling the foods with them is bad and so is eating the chemicals bad. How about ridding us of deadly chemicals. There are alternatives. These things are literally killing us. If they kill bugs, it is logical that they will kill us. I've been ill for 4 years from them. It costs Medicare, Medicare, and insurance companies lots of money, and us a lot of misery.

I think most pesticides on the market should be banned. Anything that causes cancer should not be used on food production. It is wrong to expose workers and the public to such risks.
Don't be a putz. Get it done

With all the stuff coming to light about pesticides & herbicides, and GMOs, I'm beginning to understand why Obama is pushing so hard for everyone to have healthcare but most farm workers will fall under the line for having to have healthcare and it'll fall to the government to pay for their care in the end. So which is more profitable? And Please lets No be Short Sighted!

Pesticides should not be used where people work and on the food we eat.
If I had taken 13 years to do my job, I would have been out in 13 seconds....does that make sense? Of course not. Neither does an internal review that takes even 13 days. People are just not doing their job and the taxpayers are getting scammed.

Farm workers need protection! Please do something to protect them!
How long does it take to get rid of dangerous pesticides? Some one paying you off not to? I would have gotten fired for delaying less than a few minutes.
Don't wait until it's YOUR loved ones who are affected by the current rules!
MI

I would gladly help pay the wages of these workers for one week if they would all go on strike to show your sorry asses just how much you need them. Without these migrant workers our whole country would come to a complete standstill. These people do the work no one else would do and you won't even supply them with protective gear thats necessary to live. You all should be ashamed and my only happiness comes from knowing one day you will have to answer to God for the injustice you've shown these hard workers!
No one cares that these workers are being exposed to dangerous chemicals that are causing birth defects and death to many workers. They deserve the same protection as anyone in America and something has to be done ASAP to protect these hard working people !

would it not be better to rid the world of chemicals that create harm ? could not the workers do their job better in a chemical free environment ? I will continue to pray for farmers and farm workers to wake up ... no chemical is safe! to stay healthy and keep your family healthy we must re-­‐evaluate the need for fungicide, herbicides, insecticides that can harm. You can grow food organically and it tastes great and is more nutritious ... SO ... GOD GUIDE THE FARMER WHO FEEDS THE WORLD ... AMEN.
Protect our farm workers!!!
Stop the delays, it is time to act now!

Sick workers cost the USA billions in health care and lost productivity. It amazes me that the EPA, farm employers and local governments fail to make the connection to safe farms and a healthier economy.
All workers should be kept from harm. All living beings should be respected. All employers should be held accountable.

Please do your job. If you can't control Monsanto, then at least protect the American people.
Raise the standards for these workers and provide better protections for them. Treat them like humans deserve to be treated.
It is time to either lead the way on pesticide protection or step aside to allow the appointment of someone who will work to protect America's farm workers.
Get your work done. Why are we the people paying your salary when you are not doing the job?

Life and it's vast diversity are a far greater priority to our species survival then human economics, GREED and convenience! It is long past time to protect life's diversity -­‐ which allows for human existence -­‐ at all cost. This is one of numerous examples!

This is an important issue for the health and well being of our citizens.
it is inhuman to expose workers to such working conditions.
Why do we educate ourselves if we don't intend to put it to good use?

Soon these people will be harvesting crops that have been sprayed with 2,4 D just look at the records of the vets who returned from Viet Nam and what they experienced or see the photos of the next generation of people who were in areas we sprayed and the birth defects. It is bad enough that these poisons are being used even worse that workers are exposed to them!
I'm very concerned about this!
FOR WHAT ITS WORTH. WE COULD SUE EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS DEPOPULATION. GREED IS ONE OF THE DEADLY SINS .
It is a crime to kill off people for profits.
This should be a no brainer! Please act on this at once!
Please protect farm workers from Pesticides.

We have to start somewhere to remedy the laxness that has allowed chemical companies to override rules and disobey rules. Theirs is a pretty broad scope and comprises agricultural chemicals, chemicals in foods and medical chemicals. Therefore they and their cohorts, including senators and congressmen, are ignoring humanity which is suffering and making money from human misery, the worst way to make money.

Instead of innocent until proven guilty or use until someone proves harm it should be the opposite. Prove it's safe before it can be used.

Do you let your families eat the food these pesticides have been sprayed on ? Do you care about your family or the money ?
It is tragic that in the 21st century we are still poisoning the land, air, water and the people who live nearby or work the land with pesticides.
Agriculture should be restoring critical nutrients, aerating the soil with earthworms and returning the fine balance and complexity to the natural world, instead of chemical dependency propping up chemical addicted and critically depleted farm land. So insanely shortsighted...

just because most field workers are minorities because we Americans don't like to work hard or get dirty, doesn't mean they aren't entitled to safe working conditions...having suffered side effects from "safe medications", I fully support these workers and stand with them to stop this abuse of unnecessary pesticides...it's just another racket...
Imagine NO chemicals!!!!

We also need assurances that state level chemical restrictions/enforcements are safeguarded against federal oversight. If a particular state has regulations against certain chemicals, then that should trump any federal law aiming to circumvent it.

I am reading almost everyday about new links being made to specific diseases and pesticides. I just read yesterday about the latest link to Alzheimer's. My mother has it and has been exposed to pesticides her entire adult life, living adjacent to a farm and then a golf course. My father had MS and handled pesticides for many years. Not only do workers need to be protected from pesticides but so does our food.
Farm workers should have protection from pesticides and we consumers should have protection from the pesticides on the foods that we consume.

As a nutritionist, I want to see more people eating more healthy foods more regularly. This includes minimizing pesticide use. Minimization is more likely when farm workers are educated on the risks. Protecting farm workers helps protect all of us. Thank you.
America has the cheapest food in the world. We can afford to pay more and give a decent lifestyle to these workers who put food on our tables.

Please reconsider your lack of action in this regard!??if you protect farm workers from overdosing in fields of pesticide laden food! inadvertently you are also protecting the consumer. Im and my friends and family do not and will not participate in purchasing foods that are raised in this manner. We will be going organic, so far just my friends and family going organic has climbed to approx 437.... Not much you say...well that's just my friends and family not counting their friends and family...if we cant get protection from our govt concerning protecting our food sources from corporate greed, then we will boycott these very food sources...the more we educate ourselves at how we are being treated, the more organic we will be come...we will drive your products off our shelves ...sincerely

I think it is unfair to put the public at harm with pestisides that clearly are causing health issues for everyone that comes in contact.Why should we have to scub our food before we eat it because we have to worry that if we do not we know that our bodies will be affected.Why can we not go to more healthy practices to protect the public and the future of our childeren!!
farmers are relying on huge amounts of chemicals required by faulty gmo technology to combat increasing pest and weed resistance. There are better ways!

Simple human decency requires that we care for those who cultivate and harvest our food. Please have a heart!
Humans deserve better than this!
Two-­‐fold comes from this action; safer food supply and protection for the Farmers and their Families. We are our "Brothers & Sisters keeper"
Protect the workers for the harmful pest sprays.
Because it is the right thing to do, protect our farmers and treat them fairly! They only supply us with food for goodness sake!
The EPA was created to protect our environment; yet has allowed foreign industry to dump pesticides into our country that other countries have banned. Is it time to do the job you were created to do.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this serious health concern.
If you are in a position to protect these workers from proven harm, how can you live with yourself if you do nothing???
Another measure of inequality, which like the minimum wage, an aspect of worker's rights that has been ignored: Protection from dangerous pesticides. "13 years of delay is just too long" How MANY have died or suffered needless disability?

• Chief of Environmental Chemistry, USEPA; for Fate and Transport of Pesticides in Air, Water, Soil, Plants and Animals, and Modeling. I wrote the data requirements for 40CFR § 158.290 and § 158.1300 Subpart N.
The word "Protection" should say it all, unfortunately, it doesn't.
Workers should not be endangered by the pesticides on our crops. If it's not good for them, it's not good for us either.

As a 50+ year resident of Florida, and having worked for a Florida Orange shipper in the past, that did care about their workers, I know many do not. If a company does not care about it workers, it doesn't care about it's product or the consumers of that product. It is just that simple.
No farm worker should have to be exposed to toxic chemicals so that companies can profit when the produce is sold.

You should work in the fields with all the pesticides and see what happens to you and your family from them

This is a huge deal, the farmers are our back bone. We all need to protect them and our foods against poisons not suitable for any living thing. Please take this seriously and take action to protect our world and us all.

these pesticides are killers ! Please protect field workers who handle pesticides aor work near them. Pesticide drifts also hurt and cause illnesses.
The farmworker and consumer need protection from these poisons. The bottom line short term profit is decreased by the increased health costs from mysterious autoimmune illnesses.

America would not be who we are today if not very EVERY individual contributing to the workforce. Unfortunately, those that do the jobs least talked about and definitely least desired by others are also the people that fade into the background, have little to no voice and are harmed the most. We need them, therefore we MUST protect them!!!

Please, please, please stop raising levels of pesticides in our foods! Please stop allowing Monsanto, et al, to bend the rules to favor them and not the citizens of this country and of the world. At least the rest of the world is regulating or rejecting them...the US is just rolling over and giving them what they want. This has got to STOP!
Cut out your Dwaudling and do whats right for the people.

the UN's depopulation scheme must be STOPPED!

If corporate agriculture weren't so greedy, they would know that it is more important to safeguard HUMANS than to make more money!!!
EVERYONE needs protection from the use of chemicals.
Farm workers need to be protected.

I am protected by OSHA guidelines when I go to work. Please give farmworkers the same protections I get.
something better be done soon about these poison peddlers before they are allowed to exterminate the hardest working insect on the planet "bees".
Just as you wouldn't want members of your own family exposed to toxic chemicals, so must we be concerned about these, our brothers and sisters. They provide the food we eat.

All workers must be protected. In fact, there should be a Worldwide Worker’s Protection Act. And I’ll sign that too. And we should organize a Worldwide workers strike & march together against their leaders & slave labor in those particular countries. Frank
We Americans deserve clean water, air and food that does not harm those who eat and those who work the farms. Think of your granchildren and stop being controlled by chemical and oil companies

The farmers should have to clean the pesticides off before selling it
To whom it may concern: This is becoming the world of some privilege and not of the great amount of the population, not only we have to eat but drink and breath pesticides, it is time that all citizens fight for their rights and that is by not consuming products that have pesticides and helping the organic farmers so more and more fight against this big companies like Monsanto who started with all this.We also have to make sure this companies don't buy the small companies that distribute the organic food. It is time for us to stop them because if not it will be too late. Gloria
Please act on this.

We need to make an effort to detoxify our world for everyone's sake.
FL
These important issues have been ignored for so long -­‐-­‐ it's time our lawmakers take responsibility and act appropriately.
Get into the 21st centaury people! We do not buy avocados from Mexico; and this is why we export ALL of our precious produce out of the country? Because WE WONT BUY IT!! Stop it.
I guess workers are dying and suffering trying to feed us while some are trying to figure out what to do, hope they hurry.
It would also be nice if alternative to toxic pesticides were developed and used!

Les pedimos que pongan atencion a este gran problema que tenemos y que es urgente que lo arreglen. los campesinos estan muriendo porque estan siendo esprayados las familias se estan enfermando porque los empleadores no estan dando proctecion cuando estan aplicando los pesticidas ni les dan entrenamiento lo estan haciendo iresponsablemente, ponen aplicar personas sin ningun tipo de entrenamiento ni proctecion es un delito.
Please stop the use of "known" cancer causing chemicals! These pesticides are destroying the health of all Americans and future generations.
GO to NO chemicals in our food....Stop using pesticides in our crops!

Come on guys.
In the USA, we do not wish to confront serious shortcomings: most farmworkers are unprotected from poisons and they are powerless economic slaves. This is the USA! Long past due to PROTECT FARM WORKERS from pesticides! Etc!
Think of how you would want the regulations to be if you were doing this work, or your children were.
FL

Not only the safe handling of pesticides, but reduced use of pesticides would be the best for all.

I would appreciate your prompt action to help the farm workers.

changing these broken rules would also help the environment, so it is a win-­‐win situation!
13 YEARS???? Tell us, in bold format, just what you have accomplished on this issue in 13 years. And please tell us exactly who and what is holding this up. You might want to throw in which companies are influencing the delay and who will benefit by going along with their need for no action.
Help protect the health and safety of the people who put food on our tables!
We need to be treated FAIRLY. (Retired NYC employee.)

Farmworkers are exposed to pesticides every day in the fields where they labor. They deserve the right to know and appropriate safety and health training about the pesticides they are exposed to. If we don't protect the most vulnerable and most exposed, what does that say about our commitment to human rights and the environment?

We need inspectors
Children playing in fields are also at huge risks...when the clouds of mist come down. I ttok care of a dying boy in the PICU at a famous childrens' hospital-­‐ his cause of death -­‐ acute pesticide poisoning. And fetal problems are also much higher in workers whose juob involve roting use of pesticides and herbicides (landscapers, farm and garden workers, etc.
These are the people that gather our crops, the food we eat! While I'm not crazy about illegal aliens they deserve to be protected.
I stand with oyr farmers.

There is no reason not to act to better regulate and control pesticides and their use. The more we learn about the dangerous effects on beneficial insects and people exposed, the more disturbing it becomes. Stronger regulation and restrictions lead to better products that are less harmful to people and the environment.

Everyone needs and deserves your expertise in providing protection from harm. Environmental Protection should be Exceptional Protection.
This should be been law years ago.
We need better controls on "ALL" toxic chemicals.
Today's agricultural chemicals are getting more and more potent, causing exposure to them to be more and more dangerous to workers. these laborers are not expendable; they have a right to adequate protection from bodily harm, and now is not too late to provide it.

There is no excuse for workers being exposed to dangerous chemicals so that farmers (and corporate farms) can make profits. This is a disgrace.

If the EPA doesn't have the funding to adequately protect the occupational health of farmworkers then I don't understand why OSHA doesn't take on the protection for this group of workers. The mere fact that farmworkers are placed under the protection of the EPA instead of OSHA outlines the blatant injustice these workers experience in regards to their right to a healthy workplace.

I'm looking for an Organic World of food and flowers plus sustainable lifestyles.
Please do this!!
I believe in organic farming! I do believe that the depletion of the once rich soils are do to the use of pesticides and herbicides. My family supports organic farming! Would you want your children working with all these pesticides and herbicides. No?! Then stop! Do unto others as we would have them do unto us! We need to stop the poisoning of the earth and the waters and God's Children! There is plenty of scientific information showing the depletion connection. The many countries and their farmers every year have a Caravan in October Expressing their disfavor of the use of pesticides and herbicides. The USA needs to step up and make decisions based on what is good for the health of the children. So many children now a days are sensitive to these chemicals. Stopping is a decision made with the mind and heart engaged.

American consumers have demonstrated their support for products that are ethical, sustainable, and less chemicaled, it's time for the EPA to catch up and help corporations clean up too.
Please use the power of your office to safeguard people and planet, which means enforcing rules and regulations for the industries whose devotion to the profit margin makes them ruthless to the safety and well-­‐being of people and planet.

I keep honey bees, so I am not a great fan of herbicides or pesticides. (Not to mention GMOs) so the exposure the average farm labor has is unacceptable to me. The guys who mix and manufacture these materials take great care to limit exposure. The workers who plant, cultivate, and harvest the crops should be similarly protected.
Please act swiftly to improve the enforcement of our safety standards. I have a small farm and want to protect my workers and myself

Farm workers and their families should be protected from this very dangerous chemical. Farmers should take it upon them self to see to it that the workers are protected, And their families will not be expose to the danger when the worker come home from work.I do all that i can to keep my family safe and i am sure the Farmer doe`s all they can to keep their family safe. Keep the workers safe.
Enough is Enough!
Harmful pesticides are deadly, if we required you to handle this products or your children, would you want anything changed for these workers? Its bad enough this products are approved to be sprayed on food someone will eat. Local organic in season is the best. Wonder why we are such a cancerious society?
Not only for the workers but for the consumers, we need to find a better way.
PLEASE!!!

I am a nurse practitioner, and I have seen clients who work around pesticides on Christmas tree farms. When I ask them about safety training and protective equipment, many say they haven't had formal training at all or in a long time and many don't have clear ideas about what safety equipment they have access to. It is vital that these workers have clear, regular, and thorough training and that the requirements to provide and use protective equipment are enforced.
Icannot find hardly any fertilizer that doesn{t have pestide in it..WHY
Please pray about this. Your spirit and heart and conscience should guide you. Blessings to you and your work.
While I expect most farm workers don't want more government, I also expect they don't truly know the effects of pesticides on them or others. Therefore, I fully declare my support to protect them with proper legislation. Thank you.
One day when the interest of the Planet and all the inhabitants of it will matter so much that we will no longer have ANY farming practices that are NOT ORGANIC. That day will be the best day for all Farmers, Animals and Consumers. Until that day comes, EXPECT GOOD PEOPLE TO FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT WAY OF FARMING..the DRUG/MONSANTO FREE WAY. Farmers need that day to come in the US like it is in other countries!

Chemical pesticides are not sustainable.
It would be nice NOT to get cancer from all the pesticide I've ingested and given to my family unknowingly. Plants absorb the pesticide and we eat it! That means you eat it too! Does this make any sense?????
I worked as a social worker with farmworkers, and saw firsthand the working conditions that these people are forced to bear. I love this great state, and I grew up here, but it has disappointed me in its treatment of migrant farm labor.

I work with farm workers and spent last summer collecting their comments about the shortcomings of the WPS, which we've been waiting to submit to the docket. It's incredibly important that the EPA not only strengthen the laws, but find new and better ways to ensure their enforcement. Thanks for your consideration.
Do the Right Thing.
I fully support and advocate the measures enumerated in this petition. As an aspiring physician and public health researcher who has seen first-­‐
hand the damage that pesticide can do to migrant farmworkers in North Carolina, I know it is critical that the use of these pesticides-­‐-­‐ particularly organophosphates-­‐-­‐must be more tightly regulated. Many of the farmworkers with whom I worked were not told what they were contaminated with and did not even have access to the pesticide label. Adequate protection, updated training, accessible information, and regular enforcement are necessities-­‐-­‐ not privileges-­‐-­‐ which should be readily available to every farmworker. I urge the EPA to revise and refine its policies in regards to pesticide use and exposure. The United States is proud of its dedication environmental justice. Let's continue to be a beacon by further refining our pesticide protection for the sake of the individuals who make both our agrarian economy and our home-­‐grown produce strong-­‐-­‐ the farmworkers and their families.
Long overdue!!!

This is a high priority. Our farmworkers should not be at risk in providing Americans with food.
Each time we sit down to eat a meal or purchase food for our families it would be good to know that no person, animal or ecosystem was harmed so that we could eat. The people that grow and harvest our food should have our support and protection.
Workers and consumers should be your first priority.

Please don't be bullied by, snowed by, nor schmooze with those who stand to profit from lax pesticide regulations at the expense of human and environmental health.
enough people have died due to the wait. Please protect workers. no one deserves to die waiting for sensible protections. it is a real shame that others hurt others for the $ involved. it is even sadder when rules that can protect people take even longer.
VA
We really need to force the EPA to stop using sprays period!!!! We need to continue going after the gune Monsanto beingthe first!
Remember you work for the people not big industries.
Please keep the pesticides off the produce. Also, women and children are poisoned by the pesticide's. Please !!!!!!!!!!!!, Thank you.

We are now beginning to see the negative effects of chemicals in our environment. Hopefully anyone with the power to make change will do so. I have heard of unknowing workers getting so sick from field exposure they were unable to work for at least a day after exposure! Let's talk about Honeybees too...perhaps those who knowingly or not that allow the use of environmentally Dangerous chemicals should, themselves,try to pollinate tens of thousands of flowers and trees per day! It has been proven over and over small farms can achieve environmental balance WITHOUT DANGEROUS CHEMICALS.

For gosh sakes, do your job -­‐-­‐ or get out of the business! Seems the more regulatory agencies we have, the worse the problems become. 13 years is ridiculous.

Thirteen years of delay.. children born to these farmworkers growing from birth to 13 under these conditions?!!! These are people, human beings that gather food for our tables!! Be responsible and respectful now. Thank you.
Why is the government so slow to act on measures to protect people or wildlife, yet seem to act so quickly on issues that favor corporate profits and harm people, i.e. Monsanto's GMO foods.
Knowing how dangerous pesticides are, including glyphosate, how about acknowledging that they also are toxic to bees and people...

Either change the corporate induces food policy illnesses or watch the current sustainable practices of consumers grow and put major corporate opposition out of business. Evolve for the better or parish!!!

The purpose of the EPA is to protect the environment, right? not the producers of thes toxins from regulation, right? Personally, I can' understand why you have allowed roundup ready-­‐no til practices since experimental GMO pollen is released and consumers are exposed to glyphosate. Is the a USDA issue or EPA? Don't pass the buck. People are dying.

We need particularly to protect organic farming. We cannot allow chemicals and GMO seeds to "drift" into organic farmers' fields. Since many people see the need to protect their health, they (we) pay more for organic food and want very much to "get what we pay for". Use all of your power to protect all people, including yourselves, against dangerous chemicals, which harm more animals than the ones that are being targeted.
Please make pesticide protection for farm workers a top priority.

If you don't protect the people who put food on the nation's table, who will you protect? Time to work for the common good of all, especially the farmer and his/her family against dangerous pesticides. We need pesticide disclosure for all. Be courageous and demand change and transparency.
The fact that we do not remove all pesticides from usage due to their documented health contraindications is sad. The fact that farm workers are not being given the best possible protection from them is reprehensibile. It is way past time to correct this glaring incompatibility. I urge all to create & enforce policies & regulations that protect farm workers and consumers of the crops.

This is so important both to the workers first and foremost, but also to everyone who eats these plants, and drinks the water and breathes the air that gets contaminated by unsafe use of pesticides. This is everyone's problem. But first, let's make sure these workers are safe and give them the respect they deserve.

Farmworkers are people too and deserve protection from poisoning in their workplace. And while we're at it, many of these chemicals should be outlawed because all life, including all of us, is threatened by them.
Pesticides are toxins and studies of long term effects of exposure to single or combinations of pesticides are inadequate or non-­‐existent in many cases. We need much stronger legal protections for workers and for the general public.
Pay attention to the family farmers and how important they really are to our economy.

Industry interests and labor interests are out of balance in EPA's current mandatory worker protection standards. As a result of EPA's inaction, growers who could be using safe, commercially available and established alternatives to toxic petrochemical=based pesticides do not have the incentive to change to inputs that do not endanger workers.

most of these pestisides aer used to increase profits by eliminating lost product Not to make the product better
No working environment in today's society should lend itself to harmful or dangerous working conditions. For millenium our species has been able to cultivate crops to feed ourselves without harmful chemicals. But for the past 60 years it's become something we can't live without? This does not make sense. If we aren't going to ban the use of pesiticides like many other countries already have, the least we can do is protect the farmers that are exposed to the highest risk.
It is because of farm workers that America eats! These people deserve the best working conditions possible. Their sacrifices in terms of time and labor allow us to have the food supply that we do. Protect their health and we all have a better food system!
Thank you for your attention to this ever present problem.
It appears that nothing will improve until we remove the toxic pesticide loving ex-­‐Monsanto thugs from positions of power in our 'government'.

Environmental Protection Agency 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW. Washington, DC 20460–0001 Dear Administrator McCarthy, More than 13 years of delay is just too long. The Worker Protection Standards designed to protect farmworkers from dangerous pesticides have languished in “internal review” since 2000, while farmworkers and their families continue to experience harm. We urge you to fix these broken rules, strengthening them in ways that are truly protective, including providing farmworkers with the following: 1 -­‐ More complete and regular training on health risks of pesticides; safety measures they can take to protect themselves and their families; their employers’ responsibilities to ensure their safety; and their rights as workers. These trainings must be offered more often than the current requirement of every 5 years. 2 -­‐ Timely information (in an accessible format), about the timing, location and hazards of specific pesticides used on the farm where they work. 3 -­‐ Special protections for pesticide handlers. 4 -­‐ Improved enforcement of safety standards at the state level. We hope the revised Worker Protection Standards are significantly stronger and more effectively protect farmworkers and their families.
People are more important than profits-­‐ -­‐ EPA you must protect the farm workers and enact the standards now
While I would like to see all pesticides banned and replaced with permaculture practices, this is a good baby step.

I've witnessed the effects of prolonged pesticide exposure. My brother-­‐in-­‐law, now a certified organic farmer since 1981, had his metabolic system wrecked by pesticide exposure during his childhood and early years on the family farm. It was decades before his problems were properly diagnosed and treated. In the last year, he has become a new man, healthy again.

Stop the use of this toxic merry go round,before the BEES are all dead
We can do better -­‐ and we must!
Besides killing human farmworkers, you are killing are vital worker bees! No neonicotinoid-­‐based pesticides!!!
5 -­‐ Greatly reduce the use of pesticide / herbicide related products perhaps by working to decrease subsidies to farms / farmers that utilize such methods and instead increasing subsidies to farms / farmers that do not use such harmful measures, such as organic farms.

Do the farm workers not deserve the safety factors to protect them and their children? What kind of a country as we not to protect the workers who pick our food.
It's just common sense logic that you can't put poison in/on our food without putting poison in/on our bodies. What good can ever come from that?

Current regulations do not adequately protect public health and the environment.
It is too late when pesticides have built up in our bodies to the point where clinical symptoms appear. Our children are at risk. We really have to stop the use of pesticides everywhere.Neural damage is not repairable. I speak from personal experience.

Our President has signed the Monsanto Protection Act, and I'm wondering from what Monsanto needs protection. Please, folks, someone needs to be in the corner of the family farmer!
I used to work on farms and I know how dangerous these chemicals can be. Please protect consumers and workers.

This MUST be addressed!
When we poison the people who supply our food and treat them as less valuable because of their labor, we lose our own dignity and right to be outraged by worker demands.
It is only right!
To allow people to be slowly poisoned, and passed down to their kids is criminal.

The EPA isn't working. Guidelines and policies that those working at the EPA sign a no-­‐work competition clause for ten years needs to be put in place. The EPA people are in the pesticide industry's back pocket. It won't work unless something is put in place to stop them from being lured to these industries.

I work in agriculture and know the harm pesticides can do. This is a very serious health issue. The best thing is to get pesticides out of agriculture alltogether.
13 years?!!! How can any group be called effective who cannot act on something this dangerous. This is disgusting.
Please do the right thing. All eyes are upon you. Thank you!
It is morally offensive to poison our farm workers.
For the sake of farmworkers, the communities surrounding farms, bees and all living things, phase out all chemicals from food and agriculture

Start using integrated pest management and stop polluting our food while harming/killing the workers.
I am a landscaper who eschews chemical pesticides because I know first hand the harm they do. I think it is time the EPA embraced an enlightened approach in educating all who work in and around toxic substances and stand up for those whose employers refuse to protect them.
It is only right that we protect those who work with our food supply.

We need to do a better job of protecting our farmworkers!

How can people be healthy when we eat poisoned food.? And now you are poisoning the field workers with double exposure-­‐-­‐-­‐from being in the fields and from eating the product. This is despicable and EVIL. Remember, your family is eating that poison Too ...you poor excuse for a human being!!!
It's the 21st Century and this bullshit must end. let's not forget that workers/labor creates all wealth........

Foods should be labeled with the pesticides they've been exposed to.
Why wait!!!!
Pesticides should be phased out quickly. we do not need them. We garden successsfully without them.
Further delay is unacceptable. Please take action to protect these workers now.
Safety and enforcement should be the top priorities and your standards need to be upgraded.

Farmworkers provide food for all of us and need protections in place...better conditions overall is needed for these hardworking people who provide for all of us who take where our food comes from for granted.
i have sprayed this kind of herbicides and now i have three types of canacer
As an organic grower I realize how many negative consequences can arise from pesticides and herbicides. Please help protect these workers.
stop all pesticides and herbicides period
With the new push to use 2,4,D to control GMO treated corn and soya beans farmers using this very toxic chemical will be suffering multiple, serious health effects. To deny them protection is unconscionable and deadly.
When a pesticide has been found to poison farm workers or to leave toxic residue on produce, it should be banned. Period. It should not be allowed on imported foods, as well.
That we have no protections for these hard working people is morally wrong. And the bigger issue is why has the FDA allowed these chemicals, these pesticides and insecticides to be used in such an egregious way? Research is showing how these deadly toxins are harming humans and harming bees and the insects which are crucial in the growth of our crops. Time to revise the Worker Protection Standards indeed but protect them more by banning the use of these deadly chemicals.

Please, for all our sakes and the world's.
As a nation of values, we must do this.
The small farmers need our help. The giant agro-­‐ farms do not need subsidies.
We need to do more sustainable farming.
These poor, neglected, ignored and misused workers (and their families) have suffered long enough. History will be the judge and the chemical industry (and its enablers) will be found guilty.

I am a farmer. I stand by all farm workers for the right to self protection. Farmers keep food on anyone who eats plate. They should not be put in danger tio do so.

Do it!
I feel responsible when I know I am eating fruits and vegetables and the workers who planted and harvested them are suffering physical damage from inhaling and touching the pesticides used to grow them. On top of that I don't want to be poisoned by these same toxic substances, nor do I want more damage done to honeybees or any other creatures in the natural world. The health of one is impossible with the health of all.

Organic farming is the real solution here-­‐-­‐too many recent studies have shown that pesticides cause severe damage to human health and the environment. But in the meantime, the revised Worker Protection Standards are the only humane and decent route to take.

Justice delayed is justice denied. The same is true of health and safety protections. Farm workers have waited too long for these important regulations to be implemented.

Pestides are not good for anyone, our food or the planet. There are much better ways to manage pests with good farming techniques such as smaller, non corporate crops and organic measures that replenish the land, rotations detours super bugs and it reduces our fossil fuel component in agriculture.

It is fairly well known that crops grown organically using proper methods sustain similar losses to those grown with chemicals. The need for chemicals has largely been manufactured by those who wish to make profits by selling these agents of death and disease. Blights and pest plagues of the past were in response to poor farming practices, like monocropping and the wrong kinds of tillage and irrigation. What is really needed is better education in organic farming styles -­‐ of which there are many -­‐ as well as proper handling and usage instruction if a particularly stupid farmer decides they actually MUST use chemicals. (Which education, properly conducted, may actually cause them to decide to go organic. But either way at least they might learn to place themselves, their workers, their end consumers and their communities at somewhat less risk) And if this stupid farmer does decide, after proper education in better farming practices, to take the easy and lazy way out and use these toxic and dangerous substances, we need strong laws limiting and guiding that usage.

Stop this!! Our people and food chain is in jeopardy resulting in a rise of chronic illnesses!

Politicians want the status quo -­‐ it leads to harmful effects, but it also leads to them controlling food prices and quantities, and keeps them in power. Though they appoint you, meaning you must cater to them to some degree, it is ultimately your job to do, and killing farmers is something that is in your power to stop. Be the change sir.
EPA is more concerned with ensuring the greed of big farm is more Important than workers and the public? How dare you put greed as a priority. Our gov't is supposed to protect citizens not the greedy 1%. How dare you!

In the face of unreduced pesticide use, the least to be done would be to reduce the risks to those who work around and apply pesticides to fields. 13 YEARS? This is the value placed on the work of the people who grow food for Americans? With new and more potent pesticides introduced virtually every year? It is clear that Worker Protection Standards need to be updated and enforced.
The people who work to grow our foods deserve all the protection that can be made available to them.
STOP killing workers and consumers !

These pesticides are deadly. First the chemical companies should not be allowed to produce them, then workers should not be exposed to them. I don't care what kind of workers they are no ones health should be put at risk.
The impacts of pesticide exposure have impacts not only on farmworker's health, but the health of future generations. The cost to society is enormous with additional costs to the health of rural communities and consumers. Improved worker protection standards benefit everyone.
Please do the right thing!!

My final comment is that the best solution may be to promote organic farming methods to ensure that dangerous pesticides do not threaten farm workers or compromise the safety of our food supply.

We need to safeguard the health of the people who work in the farms so the we don't have to grow our own food.
IT'S WAY PAST TIME FOR THIS TO HAPPEN.
Please protect our health and the health of our children

EPA You have not been doing a very good job now for decades! You say it is lack of funding I say BULL!
lets be humane

As a Catholic clergyman, I see this as an important moral issues. It is shameful that our nation does not provide fundamental protections for all our workers, but especially those most vulnerable to exploitation. It is clear that we cannot rely on private industry to safeguard our workers and so the government has a legitimate right and interest to act on behalf of workers.

We need to protect our farmers, the rest of us, our children and our grandchildren from harmful pesticides. Is it any wonder that so many of us have cancer, with all the poisons we spread so casually around our environment?
Farm workers should be protected. Their work is difficult and needs to be better protected.
Every delay cost money. These costs are borne by all. It is drag on the economy and an unnecessary burden on already vulnerable workers. Please fix this now!

I feel strongly that the toxic burden on our bodies due to pesticides and other chemicals in our environment is contributing to diseases. By distracting our bodies from doing their jobs, which is to remain well, pesticides are monkey wrenches. Let's find a better way to eliminate pests.
I visited a Del Monte banana plantation in Costa Rica earlier this month. It was Sunday, March 10th, and as our tour group walked between the rows of banana plants, an aerial crop spraying plane buzzed around us overhead. I could smell the pesticide as it drifted down upon us. At least Del Monte was spraying when the field workers had the day off.
Farmers and their families are important to all of us. Let's safeguard them from pesticides and other toxic agricultural chemicals.
Pesticides not only endanger the farmer workers, but also pollinators. Please stop the pesticides.

First: revise and enforce the WPS.
Second: continue to pursue bringing monocrop (often GMO) farming to an end and resuming farming that is as near to organic as is possible.
The burden of pesticide and herbicide use will fall dramatically once these chemically-­‐dependent crops are phased out. Organic farming is much safer for the workers to grow and much safer for consumers to eat.

Put yourself in the place of the farm workers and then decide on how they should be treated and how this would affect your family. Be sensible..

I would also urge lawmakers to promote LESS use of pesticides on ALL of our foods. And, especially, prohibit the excessive use of antibiotics in farm animals. This is close to an epidemic and when the time comes, there will not be any antibiotics to save humans as we will all have become immune to even the strongest ones!

I realize you have a lot on your plate, but I would think that Monsanto's basically poisoning people would be a top priority. In addition to that, they are forcing farmers to buy their pesticide laden seeds. Yes, corporations have mega bucks and can basically own the government and buy elections, but I would hope that the welfare of people would come closer to the top of the list for action by the government. Isn't the government "For the people and by the people"? I don't recall the word "corporation" anywhere in there.

As I raise my own vegetables, I continually reflect how pleasant the work is knowing I can pause at any time, but how difficult it must be for full-­‐time employees. They surely need all possible protection.
Sounds like common sense to me.

I might be availing myself of a bulk petition to tell you what I want in terms of farm worker protections, but I am a retired lawyer andyou can be sure that I have read and understand the issue -­‐ so please do not discount my signature as being a "non-­‐
unique" communication. Thank you.
How about we bam pesticides completely and come up with other ways to protect crops?
Pesticides in our food are causing cancer -­‐ GMO food has no nourishment -­‐ therefore people get sick -­‐ it is so obvious -­‐ Monsanto and others like this company are evil and must be stopped.
Dear Administrator, Pesticides that have been banned in other countries are still being used in USA. Are you mandated to protect corporate profits or the health of people and the environment? Look in the mirror and decide on how you want to be remembered. Thanks you

Protect the health of the folks who help to harvest the food that we eat! I would go farther and say NO PESTICIDES -­‐ GO ORGANIC!
All workers deserve protection from toxic chemicals. I just took my car for emissions testing yesterday and the stench of both the office where I waited and the actual garage itself made me sick for many hours afterward. I can't imagine having to work in such a toxic environment on a daily basis.

The people who help feed us should not be at risk doing their important jobs.
Better to get these dangerous chemicals OFF foods altogether!
WE ALL NEED OUR FARMERS IN THE usa. pROTECT THEIR HEALTH! mAVIS JAN-­‐LAI
Pesticides KILL! Please help protect our world.
The new formulated 2-­‐4D used on corn, soy, and cotton should be banned until its impact on humans isdetermined.
This is important.

No American should decide between a means for providing a livelihood and one's personal health. Shame on USDA for allowing this. The spirit of OSHA is not applied to farmworkers. Time for change.

The pesticides in use today are highly toxic . This is becoming increasingly so due to the introduction of Dioxin into a particular pesticide produced by one of the most infamous companies in existence. As you might remember , Dioxin was the prime chemical used in the defoliant "Agent Orange" in Viet Nam which has been linked to numerous types of cancer,birth defects,and various other maladies suffered by veterans in that war.

Having been sprayed from crop planes in farming areas in the southwest, I am particularly anxious that you take action to protect farm workers -­‐-­‐ and travelers -­‐-­‐ from these hazardous chemicals.
If the workers need protection, what about the customers who buy and consume these crops? Isn't it high time for the EPA to finally do its job and protect them and us?
So important for health and future.....
So wrong....how can we eat this crap, AND expose ourselves day after day to it? STOP!
Send your kids out to work the fields for a summer or two if you're so convinced the pesticides are so harmless.

Thank you.
On so many levels, human suffering, health, and greed, we need to make sure food, food harvestors, and consumers are safe from poisons in our food that only serve to promote more poisons or eventually harm us all.
Isn't it odd that we worry about the bees and monarch butterflies but leave the workers to fend for themselves. We know that pesticides are toxic -­‐ that is why they are used. All workers who are involved with food should be protected.

Poeple matter.
A person or a company knowingly dangerously exposing an individual, be it a worker or a passerby or a consumer...anyone, of any product known to be toxic should be held accountable by law for an action to knowingly cause harm to a person.....or the environment in which a person works.
I would add herbicide to this call for safety measures. Research beginning to appear indicates that glyphosate is a toxic chemical: http://www.mindfully.org/Pesticide/Roundup-­‐

Personally I wish we farmed as if the earth and our future mattered. I have avoided buying conventionally grown fruit and produce for decades and at the very least would hope that pesticide use was closely monitored.
Why do you persist with condoneing people being exposed to farm chemicals in fact why use chemicals that cause cancer & suffering ,, even your own children are suffering from this use

DO THE RIGHT THING! PLEASE!
These workers need to be protected from potential health problems caused by pesticides. That's their human right!
Gillian

Dr. David
Pesticide Action Network
Frankly, I'd like to see pesticides banned, plain and simple. At the very least, as the Environmental PROTECTION Agency, you are called to protect all living creatures and the environment for future generations from the big money pesticide corporations.
Unhealthy people lead to an unhealthy economy; stop sacrificing the good of the people (in this case, farm workers) for the good of the powerful.
NO FARMS -­‐ NO FOOD!
How many petitions will it take, before you FOOLS stop the CHEMICAL WARFARE on FOOD CROPS...???... *GO*ORGANIC*...
Please take a stand for the vulnerable farm workers. Improving safety standards today will pay dividends far into the future of those who labor to put food on our tables. Thank you.
EAT HEALTHY , DON'TR POISON OUR KIDS .
This is a world-­‐wide problem. There are also ramifications with respect to exports. For example, Genetically Modified crops use high amounts of pesticides, and some countries wish to exclude foods containing high levels of agricultural chemicals and GMOs because of the health issues that are now associated with them. Looking after the health of farm workers is essential, as there are so many health problems now shown to be linked to pesticides.
Please support the revised Worker Protection Standards. Thank you. Ruth Wallace
Please do you job.I'm paying for it with my taxes.
These pesticides also threaten end users. Ending monoculture and moving toward a permaculture agricultural policy will make a huge difference in the amount of pesticides used.

ITs a scientific fact that poisons/pesticides cause cancers.

It is also more than obvious to me, a retired chemical engineer, that the overuse of toxic materials, which of course includes the myriad of pesticides widely spread into the enviroment, has also caused things like the disappearance of honeybees, bats, and birds of all kinds, the "dead zone" at the mouth of the Mississippi, ad nauseam. It is not only time merely to get this under control, but to undo the harm that has already been done.
We need to protect farm workers from the hazardous effects of pesticides so they can live a long disease-­‐free life with their familes. We should further reduce & limit the use of pesticides in all farms & promote more organic ways to produce our food crops.

I lived in Watsonville, CA in the 80s surrounded by strawberry fields. Their constant spraying left me with terrible allergic reactions to pesticides/fungicides to this day. Please protect farm workers!
Protective clothing, equipment and correct education and commonsense when around and handling chemicals should be mandatory by law to protect furure generations. There are millions of cases worlwide of chronically ill children due to chemical exposure more often then not the weaknesses from chemical exposure are passing through the reproductive organs of the parents and then the final insult of to much exposure through the environment. I myself am an MCS sufferer as are my 2 children -­‐ thanks to agriculture / farming without conscious! Please help, we are slowly killing ourselves.

Stop approving the use a pesticide in any application until all relevant health studies have been performed and conclusions vetted by the scientific community (not manufacturer). Also, require that non-­‐manufacturing-­‐funded studies be considered with equal, or more, weight than manufacturer-­‐
funded studies.
Step up!

These blatantly corrupt decisions that cause harm to the people you are charged with protecting is at an end. People in this country are at the end of their endurance. Do the jobs you were intended to do. For too long there has been no concequences for your lack of action, but we are no longer unaware of what us really going on. People are being poisoned, and you bare the guilt and the responsibility for that. That makes you negligent and people need to start being procecuted and held liable

See the New York Times today. Pesticides are killing bees. No bees, no food. Please take action.
It would be nice if the country did something for the folk at the bottom of the ladder rather than constantly taking care of the 1%-­‐10% at the top.
If we must poison our environment for economic reasons, please at least provide adeequate protective measures for those having to work in that environment
Please support farmers, who look into Alternate methods to using chemicals.

Better to just make manufactured pesticides and herbicides unlawful, since they are all harmful to some degree to workers and consumers. Without health soil, animals and the plants that sustain them, we are truly killing ourselves.
This seems like such a no-­‐brainer. Just do it.
We 're reaching a critical point where the heavy use of pesticides is destroying biodiversity and rendering our soils sterile, as well as threatening our health.
MA
This is basic fairness for the workers. It should be automatic to have these practices in use.

Pesticides are not fully tested and more and more research points to pesticides as a cause. I was poisoned by an indoor application of a so called "safe" pyrethroid. It has destroyed my health and my life. The same product cannot be used in barns with livestock. There is no way the EPA is protecting our health. It is long past time for the EPA to protect our health and not corporate profits.

I am so sad and angry that people, our precious soil, plants and all other living things are harmed and killed by exposure to deadly pesticides and herbicides. I studied health in college, and upon seeing a woman with a cloth over her mouth and nose at a non-­‐organic grape processing plant have supported only organic and transitional farming ever since -­‐ over 35 years. The very least that can be done in the meantime until we rid this magnificent planet of toxic killer chemicals and poisons is to do everything to protect life from early or hastened death from these exposures. To follow the Golden Rule, no one should be around, producing, ingesting, breathing, drinking, playing, or living anywhere near poisons.
Thank you.

We are slowly poisoning ourselves out of existence. It is showing up in our honey bee populations that are dying off as the "canary in the coal mine" warning, next it is all of us. Large corporate entities have no incentives to use less toxins and pesticides, however we do. We need to do better.
If you fail to protect the people, in this crucial environment, we will all be responsible for the price, they will have cause, to sue for al the damages, and guess who will have to foot the bills, everyone will suffer not just the useless corporations, it will last for generations, premature death and suffering, diseases, disability, deformity, for generations. Irreprable damages.

this is it . doesnt seem very stringent. Or is all we can hope to get passed.
Protections for farm workers and their families also protect the rest of us from overexposure to toxic pesticides.

A close friend here in Massachusetts has lived with multiple birth defects, probably directly related to the use of chemical pesticides and/or herbicides on her family's small farm before she was born. Now in her mid-­‐forties, she has undergone dozens of corrective surgeries beginning in infancy -­‐ a life no one should have to suffer! It is a disgrace to our country that this is still an issue. When will we cease to be slaves to the chemical industry, at great human cost?
Please, please, please...there are so many, increasingly many, reasons for this legislation...for all of us! Thank you for your consideration.
Farm workers are paid less than others, and they work in very hazardous conditions. They deserve protection, just like everybody else.
This is critical and a must do

Act now! god is watching!
All people are equal and should be treated as such
ALL workers deserve FULL protection in and around the workplace. It is as SIMPLE AS THAT!
And we know that these protections also protect children and families in the vicinity of the fields.

And while we're at it, we should protect farm workers anywhere in the world by banning the export of pesticides banned in the U.S.

As a college student I have researched the effects of pesticides and have found that they cause spontaneous miscarriages, psychiatric problems (Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, autism, and a vast amount of other problems. We are human beings and deserve to be treated like human beings. We are not fictional nor invinsible. We have families, feel, think, breath and die just as anyone other human would but we deserve to be here with our families until god calls of home, don't you think?

Don't kill farm workers and their families by bad or uninformed protections.
ENVIRONMENTAL protection agency... NOT CORPORATE PROFIT protection agency! DO YOUR JOB!
EPA do your job. Protect these workers.
Fair is fair.
Farm workers, like other workers throughout the work, have an inherent GOD-­‐given right to be treated as full-­‐fledged human beings, and to have their hard work appreciated by the management.
Farmers and farm workers work hard to put food on people's tables. They should be protected from toxic pesticides that wreak havoc on the environment and cause illnesses!
From the fields to everyone's table. Safety first.
Gentlepersons:
We grow our own vegetables and buy some at the organic Co-­‐op "Peoples". Our brothers and sisters who work the commercial fields day in and day out need protection from toxins. When it comes to "life and liberty", there are no exceptions. Please act. Thank you!
Growing, harvesting, and packing food items should absolutely not be work rife with toxins!
Haven't enough been poisoned to fill the quota.
I know farmworkers from Mexico here in Vermont, and urge you to include the conditions above in the revised Worker Protection Standards to help protect their health while they contribute to our economy.
I agree with a ll above
I am a survivor of pesticide poisoning and these issues have plagued farmworkers and their families for far too long... please act now.

I don't think farm workers should be exposed to any pesticides. The farm industry is inhumane, and I think the laws should be changed in any way they can be to protect these workers more.
I don't want poison on my food or in the air and water..And it is wrong to expose workers to it.
I have personally witnessed farmworkers weeding fields as a cropduster dusted both them and the human row marker who was protected only by a rag tied over his nose and mouth.
I KNOW PERSONALLY FARM WORKERS WHO HAVE BEEN DISABLED BY PESTICIDES
I live in an agricultural area. We all have to breathe what is sprayed on the plants.
I should not have to request these -­‐-­‐ it should have been the first things done.
I strongly believe in stronger pesticides to protect farm works and consumers.We are what we eat.
I support this action by the United Farm Workers. Their concerns must be heard!
I will never forget that a former colleague of mine lost her mother, a farm worker, to breast cancer at a young age from pesticide exposure. We must respect our workers as much as we respect ourselves, and protect them from work hazards. This is both common sense and common decency.
If a Wall Street banker had to work in the conditions farm workers have, safety would be immediately fixed. Basic safety rights should be immediately implemented. This country should have and show more respect for the workers who grow our food and keep food prices low.

If you are not going to "Protect," change your name.
I'm also tired of these pesticides in food. Farmers, doctors, pharmacists and any food related agencies should be fighting to protect the health of the poor or uninformed of dangerous products that can take your life or make you sick for life! Not be trying to make so much money they can never spend it or accumulate it fast enough.
I'm just now learning about your organization from my social movements and change class! I wish you guys the best of luck for your cause.
Insecticides in the fields adversely both affect farm workers and the envirornment directly. Indirectly we as consumers are also affected.

Insidious License To Kill, Through Industrial Agriculture’s ‘Permits’

Genetics also play a role in brain chemical disorders. Therefore many of us are born predisposed toward mental health issues. If it is known that PCBs can exacerbate brain chemical disorders...in even the smallest manner...why are these chemicals allowed in our food supply?
Why are they allowed to filter into our groundwater? Why have they been allowed to poison and kill the soil in agricultural areas as well as in ‘gated’ suburban neighborhoods. These chemical ‘killers’ have been given free reign throughout or lives. Our ‘selective’ ignorance, is capable of contributing to and causing It is really a matter of self preservation. And of plain common sense.
It is time for the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) rules to be brought up to 21st century standards and it is the responsibility of the EPA to end 13 years of weak enforcement on this issue
It is unconscionable that farm workers who bring our food to the table should not be protected from pesticides.
I've never understood the rationale for 'exempting' farm workers and domestic workers from all the normal workplace safety requirements...if anything, they should have more protections, rather than less, as their work is inherently either more dangerous and/or more isolated.
Let's be human and treat all workers fairly especially those who help produce the food we eat.
make a way for consumers to find out if ttheirproduce is pesticide safe
My husband and two of his brothers died of Parkinson's disease. They all worked in agriculture in California and were exposed to pesticides. I am convinced those things were at least connected and probably the pesticides were the cause of their illness.
No more poisonous pesticides! Farmworkers are God's children too!
Noone should get sick so someone else gets richer....
Outlaw dangerous pesticides! Protect farmers, farm workers and their families. NOW!!!
Overdue.
People need to count for more than profit in our country
Pesticides are being used to much and poison consumers and workers. Reduction and information is over due

Pesticides kill more than "bad" insects! How would YOU, dear "decision maker" like to work with this stuff? I strongly suggest that you would gain valuable insight if you were to spend time working in the fields yourself.
Pesticides were responsible for liver failure in a friend of mine who worked in the orchards of Yakima. He barely survived a liver transplant. We MUST do a better job of regulating these toxics.

Protecting the people who work to bring America's agricultural bounty to our markets is very important to me as a consumer and an American.
Stop poisoning the workers who bend to pick the food we eat!
thank you for doing this!
The amount of pesticides we have in our environment is detrimental to everyone.
The EPA must stand up for american workers and bring these rules into the 21st century. It is unacceptable that as of 2014, this agency which was created for the purpose of protecting human health and the environment by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress is not fulfilling it's mandate. It is time to end 13 years of inertia and start fulfilling it's mission.
The EPA rules MUST be enforced to protect not only the workers but all of us.
The importance of these rules to health of workers and the urgency for them to be in place cannot be overstated.

The men, women and youths who ensure we have food and drink to sustain us deserve fair treatment and decent wages and working conditions.
The overhaul of these standards is long overdue.
Petzak
If appropriately strengthened and enforced, these standards can benefit the workers, their employers, and also their communities.

Thank you for considering my views.
The people who put food on our plates deserve to be protected from dangerous pesticides, AS DOES THE FOOD WE EAT.
The safety of any worker comes first. If a business owner cannot figure this out, they shouldn't be running a business.
THE WORKERS NEED PROTECTION FROM THESE POISONS
There are significant long-­‐term ramifications to these measures…..good for everyone.
There is NO VALID REASON why poor farm workers, including America's children working beside their parents should be a political football. Federal government protection should be a no-­‐brainer or is the lobby money allowing this inhumane travesty to continue undeterred? Placido Salazar, USAF Retired Vietnam Veteran and former farm laborer
These are the people who bring us the food that we eat. They deserve to be treated as we would like to be if we were doing their work.
These farm workers labor like hell to do grueling work for pitifully low pay. The least we should do is make sure that they are not poisoned!
These minimal protections must be put in place and enforced. The EPA must hold employers accountable for the safety of our nations farm workers -­‐-­‐-­‐ just as we, the American public, must (and will) hold the EPA accountable for the same.
Think about your health and the health of other human beings.
This is criminal!! Can you taste the farmworkers' blood, sweat, tears, and grief in the produce you eat with your meals, and still celebrate at the dining table?
THis is long over due.
This is simply VITAL!!
This is the right and just thing to do.
Those making the rules should be exposed to these chemicals.
To end poverty worldwide, Read, 'Ultimate Poverty, Unlimited Wealth", antigoldrush.com
To even think to pesticide a field in which humans work and sweat is in my view, murderous. Stop it now. 'these must be a better way. And all of us are happier with less pesticide.
We absolutely want our farmworkers protected and enhanced in every way !!!!
We know pesticides aren't safe for the farm workers or for consumers. There is no safe level. It's time to stop the use of all pesticides.
We need to stop poisoning our planet for profit and greed and adopt a natural solution for our agriculture practices to protect our planet and people.

We need to switch to older methods of agriculture without pesticides and without chemical fertilizers.
We only buy organic, soooo, if you want to sell to us, you have to forgo the pesticides, except in extreme pestilence infestation.
We proclaim to be a wonderful country. To exemplify this, we need to take proper care of ALL of our workers, especially our farm workers.
Whose side are you really on?
Work towards more natural forms of pest control to protect farm workers and their families, and consumers of treated crops. Chemicals that effect the vital organs of young children who consume treated crops must be identified and phased out of use.
Workers make whjat we eat and use
in this life. None of the Great Corporations
would be rich today if not for those
who do the work!
Thank you for your consideration.
Workers remain well...it is a win-­‐win situation for ALL!
Would you expose your family to pesticides?
Wow, EPA....so some among us are DISPOSABLE people? That's amazing. So -­‐-­‐-­‐after the "All'' men are created equal..." is there an invisible part written out like .......EXCEPT farm workers and probably Hispanic ones are excluded....?
Geez.....there needs to be a study here, because pesticides are bad enough....how about a control group...the kids of the growers have to sit out in the fields as the workers pick and let's see how sick those kids get?

Yes, that is an absurd proposal...but the reality for the farm workers is insane and inhumane, and undoubtedly a KILLER of fair treatment. So...os EPA really an acronym for Exalted Pesticide Agency. You 've done some wonderful work.....so where did this scary thing come from?***************************
You and I are our siblings' keeper. Wisdom is more cost effective than intellect. It just takes longer and, thankfully, it can slow us down to a human pace.

Evidence for the ecological harm done by pesticides, especially neo-­‐nicotinoids, is not questionable. Industrial farming yields are also not jeopardized by organic methods (see Rodale Institute's 20 yrs of data), or by selective use of certain human health-­‐
approved pesticides. The health impact of the use of neo-­‐nicotinoid pesticides (and others) on farmworkers and their families is unconscionable. Please take action to set Worker Protection Standards. Thank you.
Pesticides/Insecticides are poisoning to people and the environment. I urge you to explore natural alternatives. As more and more awareness grows on these topics, the less likely people will be to buy products grown with the use of these chemicals. People want naturally-­‐made foods that do not jeoporoadize their health.

The issue of farm worker safety is the issue that turned me toward organic food. When I realized that not only was I ingesting unsafe chemicals with my food, but by creating an unsafe work environment for food production workers, I made the shift to organic. I fully support any action to make working conditions healthier for agricultural workers. Best outcome is to stop using dangerous products to produce our food!!
not only is it unexceptable that nothing has been done to protect these farm workers, but it's also unexceptable that these chemicals are still being used at all. We know they are killing everything they touch, including the people that eat the food. Time for a big change. It's time to be responsable.

Pesticides pose health risks. It's time to protect farm workers.
Why is it people will risk life and limb to save someone from a burning building and yet they will do nothing to help those in peril from harmful chemicals and pesticides? It shouldn't always be about money...
What possible reason could there be to not protect these people from these toxic and carcinogenic chemicals? The only reason I can think of is $$$! Intolerable. What kind of society subjects its workforce to such life threatening danger? Please do the right thing.
Care for your family. They are spending all their life energy for your profit.

Better safeguards results in better workers. More rights result in more motivated workers. Consider making pesticides less harmful in addition to all of this: I don't like consuming poisons at my dinner table. Would you want to feed your children poisons and chemicals as long as it taste good, right? Wrong. Do not let this, revising the Workers Protection Standards, become a difficult task. Do not let it be a pressing issue, instead take joy in knowing that you'll make many individuals thankful, greatful and appreciative. Do not let this become another job; paper work. Remember that there are people that value the time and effort that you put into making these sorts of things finalized. ""Don’t tear your clothing in your grief, but tear your hearts instead.” Return to the Lord your God, for he is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. He is eager to relent and not punish." (Joel 2:13 NLT) :D God bless you !!! Sincerely, Lisa Hildebrandt

The less chemicals the better. I don't like eating chemicals, and certainly don't think farm workers should have to be exposed to these chemicals. People lived for hundreds of years eating fruit with the odd flaw but no chemicals, I can handle the odd bug on my fruit without the chemicals.
Permitting those who work on the land to produce our food, [including those who may be brought in from impoverished less-­‐developed jurisdictions], to be exposed to the KNOWN cumulative dangers of pesticides that are used on a regular basis, amounts to nothing less than pre-­‐meditated criminal behaviour on the part of the government and its regulators. I URGE YOU TO REVISE YOUR STANDARDS to reflect what we now know about this cumulative danger, and to APPLY THOSE STANDARDS RIGOROUSLY in all instances.
By eliminating the use of pesticides, workers maintain their health and live longer. The food they grow also promotes better health for those who eat it. It's a win-­‐win situation.

Farmworkers are human beings, too, and likely some of the lowest paid in the workforce! They can't afford medical insurance. They need legal protection!!
Food and water are really job 1 -­‐ big business is jeopardizing both.Chemicals harm the ground and the workers and waste oil.

It isn't right that people are harmed so others can eat or make money. Workers need to be protected, and any company that subjects workers to harm and harmful conditions shouldn't be allowed to stay in business!

THEY ALL WORK SO HARD TO PUT GOOD FOOD ON OUR TABLES

dear mr. perciasepe, please ask yourself the following question: w would you feel regarding this issue if a member of your family were one of those farmworkers trying to earn a living and support their families while being exposed to those pesticides on a daily basis? and remember sir, we are all family on a very basis level, all members of the human family. thank you should you have taken the time to read this.

This is pure logic. When handling pesticides any worker should be fully protected from these harmful chemicals. Anyone considering otherwise is not fit to be making decisions regarding the workers well being then.

Another, maybe better idea, is to promote organic farming and teach farmers, along with safer pesticide use, how to avoid using pesticides at all. Sadly, pesticides tend to kill everything and like antibiotics, eventually a resistance develops requiring stronger and stronger chemicals. It is a vicious cycle that will not stop until consumers and politicians stop the insanity.

Killing bugs and weeds should not also result in killing people by giving them deadly diseases like cancer. Farm workers and their families need to be isolated from the effects from pesticides.
perhaps banning the use of harmful pesticides would be better for all of us, or is profit more important than health?

There is good statistical evidence of a link between pesticides and Parkinson's disease. Secondly, according to a study published in JAMA Neurology on 1/29/2014, there may be a link between DDT and Altzheimer's disease.
