🔍 New study finds uneven benefits from California's #Chlorpyrifos ban. Following the ban, we found #organophosphate #pesticide use ⬇️ 54% statewide - but not every region benefitted equally:

"Study found that Monterey County #organophosphate #Pesticides use increased by 26% between 2016 and 2021, with over half of #pregnant women in the County living within 1km of an application site during pregnancy" ➡️ montereyherald.com/2025/10/0…

We found that in 9 counties, 1 in 5 #pregnant people live within 1km of #organophosphate use and in #Monterey county, that number rose to 1 in 2. Throughout the state, expecting Hispanic/Latine people were most likely to live near organophosphate pesticide use.

The #sanjoaquinvalley benefitted the most from the #chlorpyrifos ban, with total organophosphate use ⬇️ by 74%; in contrast, the #centralcoast, home to much of the country's strawberry and lettuce supply, saw total organophosphate use UNCHANGED comparing pre- and post-ban

Communities across California are increasingly facing #extremeheat and #wildfire smoke - often at the same time. Last month, we hosted a #webinar exploring exposure & vulnerability through data and tools #futuredirection #taw2025 youtube.com/watch?v=Ru3FwkXU…

We're partnering with Roots of Change to launch a new project to protect #farmworkers from #extremeheat in the Central Valley. This project aims to strengthen Terra Bella community's ability to respond to extreme heat by developing a school-based #resilience hub #throughtheyears

In our Brawley Health ACTION environmental study, we convened a #communityadvisorygroup of local leaders to give guidance and feedback. They ensured we answered community questions about soil contamination and were also involved in a history assessment #throughtheyears
15 Jul 2021
With the Brawley Health ACTION Environmental Study we are working with community to learn about a contamination site and other sources of pollution that have been longstanding EJ concerns. Learn more: buff.ly/3yNlXar #PoweredByTracking #EnvironmentalJustice

Between 2020-2021, we examined over 3M SARS-CoV-2 infections and about 50K COVID-19 deaths associated with long-term neighborhood levels of PM2.5. #throughtheyears #dataforaction Learn more about the COVID and Air Pollution Study ⬇️
8 Aug 2022
"We were able to characterize air pollution at a much smaller area - down at a neighborhood level." In a recent study we conducted, we found that those living in neighborhoods with the highest PM2.5 exposure were at increased risk of getting sick and dying from COVID-19.

From 2018-2021, we provided technical assistance to community-based organizations to set up community #airmonitoring networks. #throughtheyears As part of this work, we also developed #roadtocleanair - a storymap which highlights where community partners work and live ⬇️

The “road to clean air” highlights EJ leaders and their experiences with air pollution. Check out this map to visit the seven communities in California where our community partners work and live: buff.ly/3Ba4U46 #PoweredByTracking #EnvironmentalJustice

In 2021, we designed and tested a filtration system for swamp coolers to reduce #wildfire #smoke exposure and health risks among #farmworkers - seven farmworkers leaders living in SJV also developed videos about their experiences ⬇️ #throughtheyears
11 Jul 2024
In our FRESSCA-mujeres project, members of Coalinga, Lost Hills, and Bakersfield developed stories of resilience highlighting issues of contamination in their community, advocating for clean air, and the importance of indoor air cleaners. #beadataexplorer youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…

Last year, we launched a new data explorer and traffic tool - improving accessibility and usability of our datasets. The data explorer is also now available in Spanish data.trackingcalifornia.org/… #throughtheyears #taw2025 #dataforaction
9 Jul 2024
Our updated traffic tool expands access to and use of #data on traffic volumes throughout California for 2019 - Within the tool, search for a location and calculate #traffic volumes within 1000 meters. #beadataexplorer #taw2024 cdn.zevross.com/phi/traffic-…

Since 2020, our Cal-WATCH project has been monitoring #habs in #freshwater bodies in Lake County. In 2023, we communicated to local health officers who issued an emergency alert and led two public water systems to provide drinking water to impacted residents. #throughtheyears
20 Jul 2023
We're using #DataforAction! Tracking California fills information gaps in environmental health issues. The Cal-WATCH project led to an emergency "Do Not Drink" alert issued by a local health department and two public drinking water systems, protecting the health of residents.

From 2019-2020, California Waterboards ordered water systems to test for #pfas under health and safety codes in CA's #safedrinkingwateract. We mapped results from testing near solid waste landfills, airports, fire training facilities, and other sites. #throughtheyears #taw2025

Unique data include interative PFAS Maps that display the most current PFAS water quality testing data from the California Waterboards.

In 2015, we calculated that preventable environmental health conditions in children cost CA $254M each year and over $10B throughout the child's life. #throughtheyears #taw2025 #dataforaction Learn more ➡️ trackingcalifornia.org/proje…

A1e: In our 2015 report on the cost of childhood environmental health conditions we looked at the loss economic productivity due to lead exposure. We found that each year California children will lose $8-11 billion in earnings due to lead exposure.

Our #pesticide in schools report published in 2014 helped protect children from pesticides, including spray buffers and notification systems for schools #throughtheyears #dataforaction trackingcalifornia.org/proje…
10 Jul 2019
In 2014, Tracking California published a report on ag pesticide use near public schools. While many schools did not have any pesticide use nearby, some did. Latino school kids in particular were more likely to attend schools with more nearby pesticide use.

In 2010, our WBT was launched - data on 4800 public #drinkingwater systems were made available for use for emergency preparedness, including wildfire response and recovery. Although the tool retired in 2020, the data is still available tinyurl.com/3cv2zxyp #throughtheyears
6 Jul 2020
Unique data include our Water Boundary Tool, an interactive tool that allowed users to crowd-source community water system boundaries. The tool has provided mission critical data to a wide variety of stakeholders in CA.

In 2009, we launched our #pesticide mapping tool - for the first time, pesticide data for all of California is made accessible and usable to the public. #throughtheyears
9 Jul 2024
Our #pesticidemappingtool allows users to easily access and visualize pesticide use data. Learn about the top 10 #pesticides in your area, how much was applied, and how they impact health. The tool is available in both English and Spanish. #beadataexplorer trackingcalifornia.org/data-…

"Nearly 70 lakes, rivers and reservoirs have issued “caution,” “warning” and “danger” advisories this year alone, but Clear Lake in particular has been an area where the toxic blooms’ impacts are far-reaching". bit.ly/3d9gghh
