The CDFA and USDA intend to spray us but have made no attempts to treat the medical emergency they are creating seriously. Will 7 million gas masks be provided for the men, women and children who will be forced to inhale particulate plastic, carcinogens, tumorigens and mutagens starting in June 2008? Will gas masks even offer us any protection from the particulate plastic, deemed to be a potentially fatal hazard by the American Lung Association?
CDFA needs to answer these questions!

Santa Cruz, CA, April 3, 2008
Today, the California Department of Food and Agriculture announced plans to treat the potentially invasive light brown apple moth (LBAM) with a gooey pesticide slurry sprayed onto telephone poles throughout Santa Cruz County. The pesticide goo is composed primarily of Permethrin, listed as a Possible Human Caricinogen by the U.S Environmental Protection Agency, and other undisclosed ingredients. The control measure is a precursor to aerial pesticide applications set to begin in the Monterey Bay Area in June 2008. Over 640 people have reported adverse health effects as a result of the last fall’s aerial pesticide spraying.
The following details of CDFA’s pesticide slurry program were disclosed in today’s Santa Cruz Sentinel:
The goo would be squirted by a person in a van onto power poles and trees 8 feet high — on public and private property — along streets around Santa Cruz County, Lyle said. It should dry within a week and be rain- and fog-proof. Workers would reapply the goo every 60 to 90 days.
