The Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (AWPA or MSPA) (public law 97-470) (January 14, 1983), codified at 29 U.S.C.

Many people leave their families behind in their home country with promises of returning with the fruits of their labor and the hope of a better life.

Also, they can kill or suppress the growth of microorganisms, like bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live near crops (antimicrobial pesticides).

The compounds are made up of two main types of ingredients: active, which control pests, and inert, which improve performance of the pesticides.

In fact, adding inert ingredients to pesticides requires permission from the Environmental Protection Agency.

The act is important to protect migrant workers from the detrimental health effects associated with occupational hazards of working in agriculture.

Negative health effects are magnified and become increasingly serious after prolonged and repeated lifetime exposure, which include cancer, endocrine disruptions, and reproductive complications Potential genetic disorders and developmental disorders can occur from fetal exposure during pregnancy.
