The farm fields just up the coast from Malibu are a major source of food.
They are also a major user of pesticides … which enter the food chain and the atmosphere just upwind from Malibu.
One of those chemicals is chlorpyrifos .. a poison that some scientists say is linked to nerve problems in children… and in farmworkers.
The EPA banned its spraying indoors to combat household bugs more than a decade ago.
Strawberries, corn and citrus is sprayed with chlorpyrifos … which the E P A had tried to ban under the Obama administration.
The Trump administration reversed that proposed ban … saying farmers need a cost effective bug spray.
Yesterday … California said it would ban it in this state.
And … the nation’s largest producer of chlorpyrifos says they will stop making it.
Corteva company says it made the decision based on financial considerations, not safety concerns.

The city of Malibu is planning to install warning sirens up and down the coast … to wake people up or alert them to approaching disasters.
Brushfires …
Tsunamis …
Things like that.
Sometimes these sirens are accidentally triggered.
Remember the false nuclear missile attack in Hawaii?
Huntington Beach has installed sirens to warn people if a tsunami wave is approaching.
And they went off this morning … at 4 a-m.
Woke everybody up.
HBPD confirms that the warning siren was a false alarm.
No tsunami today.
