Los Angeles Times | "A pesticide that has been banned for a decade is still showing up in Long Beach"

UCLA Fielding's Dr. Yoshira Ornelas Van Horne, assistant professor in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences, was interviewed by the Los Angeles Times about her research into the use of the pesticide methyl bromide in California, including the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
“These communities, like West Long Beach and Wilmington, they were already then designated as a disadvantaged community by the state of California,” said Yoshira Ornelas Van Horne, the study’s co-author and an assistant professor of environmental science at UCLA. “So I think this just underscores that there’s potentially even more environmental burdens that weren’t even being accounted for, unfortunately.”
