The Importance of Regulating Toxicity
In 2013 in El Salvador, toxicity proved fatal for hundreds of agricultural workers. The Ministry of Health estimates that since 2002 over 5,000 people have died due to kidney disease that they attribute to the lack of regulation of pesticides. The Ministry of Health is trying to push for legislation to control the amount of pesticides used. Unlike in Central America, Hydrosphere is one of the main companies that works to regulate and decrease toxicity in America.
