Agricultural pesticide use in California

CEHTP built this tool to enable users to explore California Department of Pesticide Regulation's Pesticide Use Reporting data. The interactive map provides the summed pound of pesticides applied, how many acres were treated in the area, and the rate at which they were treated based on location, which is searchable by city or zip code.

interactive effects of fumigants​

Simultaneous exposure to multiple fumigant pesticides occurs when fumigants are co-applied as mixtures or when applications of different fumigants occur in close proximity to each other. The maps below allow viewing of fumigant use by week in selected townships, a six square mile area. Zoom in on a block of interest and click on the block to display a chart of fumigant use by week for the top weeks in 2013.

Pesticide National Synthesis Project

The pesticide-use maps provided on this web site shows the geographic distribution of estimated use on agricultural land in the conterminous United States for numerous pesticides. Maps were created by allocating county-level use estimates to agricultural land within each county. A graph accompanies each map, which shows annual national use by major crop for the mapped pesticide for each year during the period. These pesticide use estimates are suitable for evaluating national and regional patterns and trends of annual pesticide use. The reliability of estimates, however, generally decreases with scale and these maps are not intended for detailed evaluations, such as within or between specific individual counties.

OEHHA ​CalEnviroScreen 3.0​ DATA

The Office for Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has mapped their data from the CalEnvironscreen 3.0 results. These maps contain various tabs on environmental health hazards throughout California, including air and ozone pollution, water contamination and pesticide usage. Choose the "pesticides tab" located above the interactive map to explore the percentile of pesticides used at any location in the state.

​Monterey County Growers MaP

The Monterey County 2017 Ranch Map provides a geographical list of all growers across Monterey County. It also features the locations of parcels, TRS sections, city borders, public land, schools, roads, and waterways. In looking at both the locations of ranches and schools through this map, it can be determined which schools are encircled by higher numbers of ranches and, as a result, are possibly subjected to the highest number of pesticides.
