counter argument

Despite of this fact, the federal and state agencies admits that, “Pesticides pose no threat” to the health of farm workers. According to them there’s no reason to assume the farmworkers are in danger. But neither the federal Environmental Protection Agency nor state health agencies have done any research to investigate whether the statements they have given are actually true (Clarren). However there are some non-profit organizations such as Farm Health and Safety Institute, National Center for Farm Health, Farmworker Justice, and United Farm Workers are working for migrant farm workers safety. They are developing programs to improve safety of migrant and seasonal farm workers. For instance, the Farm Health and Safety Institute organized an educational training program about how to mix and apply the pesticides safely (Info Barrel).
