The Sierra Club today released its first-ever Latino Communities at Risk Report and a companion Spanish-language television ad to detail the cumulative impact of harmful Bush administration environmental policies on Hispanic communities. The report looks behind the policy and the numbers to tell the stories of 12 individuals and families throughout the country who are dealing with environmental health problems such as asthma and air pollution, farm worker exposure to pesticides, and childhood mercury and lead poisoning.

The Sierra Club�s first national Spanish-language television ad features Latinos affected by asthma in Philadelphia, PA, methyl bromide pesticide use in Salinas, CA, and mercury poisoning in St. Petersburg, FL. The ad was produced by Haddow Communications and Javier Sierra.
