Abstract

The article discusses the conflict between urban and agricultural areas over the use of pesticides in Arizona between 1977 and 1986. It examines the efforts of pesticide reform groups, particularly the Arizona Farm Workers Committee on Pesticides (AFWCP), and their interaction with government agencies such as the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It also discusses the Arizona Environmental Quality Act.
