In the video, farm workers and their families tell their own stories of pesticide-related health problems, such as serious poisoning, death,
childhood cancer, birth defects, and brain damage. The video describes how pesticides enter the body, the symptoms of poisoning, ways to
minimize exposure, and includes interviews with union leaders, physicians, and a lawyer advocating changes in pesticide laws and usage needed
to protect farm workers.
The training manual is a well-illustrated guide that uses a clear and easily understandable question and answer format to expand upon health
issues and other important concerns of farm workers and their families addressed in the video. There are chapters on acute and chronic toxicity,
minimizing exposure, blood tests, what to do in case of illness, posting of signs, and laws and regulations. Appendices include EPA and California
re-entry intervals, and lists of farm worker unions, rural legal aid offices, clinics, and poison control centers throughout the country.
