. we've learned that tomorrow, a bay area environmental group will file a lawsuit against the environmental protection agency accusing the feds of not protecting kids from what's called pesticide drift. linda yee shows us what one family found happening in the field next to their house, a

field that grows a well-known brand of strawberries. >> in this northern california farming community, strawberry fields are everywhere. >> it does make me nervous. >> melissa and sam pleaser live just feet away from one owned by driscoll's, the popular brand we all see in supermarkets. it's lying fallow now, but once a year it gets fumigated before planting. >> see a machine with 12, 13 people in these white chemical suits, gas masks, full gear. >> the fumigant contains chloral pick ren, a former chemical war fair ajent. there are con frikting studies over whether it causes cancer, but melissa points to a uc scientific panel that warns it could be a potent carcinogen. >> we've all grown our children here. they talk about they're 76 times more likely to get cancer having been exposed to this stuff.

>> driscoll's has always reassured them there is no risk. >> they'll bring you strawberries and say, oh, you're perfectly fine. we would never put you in danger. >> the children's grandfather manuel was skeptical. oakland-based pesticide action network helped him set up drift catchers to monitor chemical drop lift in the air during fumigation. the results. >> it was scary. it was scary, especially for the kids. >> pesticide action network found lifls of clor pick ren almost two times higher than what scientists paid by the state say is acceptable for adults. for children, it was four times higher, but california considers much-higher levels acceptable so despite the family's appeals, the state did not find driscoll's in violation. >> the state and the federal government set these levels so high they'll never be -- it's impossible for them not to be within their legal rights. >> we followed all the appropriate laws and best practices in the industry.

wants the feds to make the regulation stricter for children's sake. ajents with the california department of justice arrested two state employees that they say were on the take. attorney general harris says 42-year-old stephny clark and 62-year-old danny compson took bribes from a vendor to inflate quotes for office supplies. investigators are still combing through the evidence. >> we have a lot of things to go through. you know, we've seized computers. we've seized paperwork. we have to go through all of that and see if it leads anywhere else. obviously if it does, if we find other employees, other companies, other invoices, we'll take a look at those and move forward. >> clark works at the department of fish and game. compson works for caltrans. the vendor was also arrested. all three are accused of bribery, conspiracy and misappropriating state funds. paul, last night we talked about threat of thunderstorms. today still a little humid but
