Have You Witnessed Illegal Pesticide Pollution?

Matern Law Group, PC is an environmental law firm with locations throughout California.

Environmental rights are an extension of the basic human rights that mankind requires and deserves. California’s environmental laws are enforced by both state and local agencies, each charged with enforcing the laws governing specific types of environmental pollution.

California urban and agricultural storm water and irrigation run-off can carry pesticides into surface waters, which results in toxic pulses of pesticides – a direct violation of the Clean Water Act. These toxic pesticides create lethal conditions for the small aquatic organisms that fish eat as well as for human drinking water.

Some common types of illegal pesticides, insecticides, and herbicides are:

• Diazinon Insecticides
• Chlorpyrifos Insecticides
• Zimazine Herbicides
• Diuron Herbicides
• EPTC Herbicides

In California, it’s illegal to repackage, sell or distribute a pesticide without a license and without first registering the product with DPR. Registered products are tested for safety and come with approved labels and safety restrictions on use. A legal pesticide product will have an EPA Registration Number (EPA Reg. No.) on the package.

If you have had your health harmed or well-being damaged by any type of pesticide or herbicide pollution or contamination, or have witnessed illegal pesticide pollution, dumping, or disposal, you may have a legal claim.
