The Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) has established a monitoring network to sample ambient air for multiple pesticides in three communities on a regular schedule, for two or more years. Monitoring began in February 2011. DPR will use the data gathered to evaluate and improve protective measures against pesticide exposure.
