The U.S. EPA is proposing new labeling guidelines for chemicals to help limit pesticide drift. The agency also said on Wednesday, it will consider a petition from farmworker and public health advocates asking to ban pesticide spraying near schools, hospitals, and child care centers. Part of the evidence in the petition comes from projects where rural residents are monitoring the air in their own neighborhoods. Reporter: Sasha Khokha
