Fleurist's Battle Highlights Hidden Dangers of Pesticides

After losing her daughter to cancer, a former florist seeks justice and awareness about the risks of pesticide exposure in the floral industry.

Emmy Marivain, who died at age 11 from leukemia, is the first child recognized by the French government as a victim of prenatal pesticide exposure.
Her mother, Laure Marivain, was exposed to pesticides while working as a florist, unaware of the potential health risks.
The Fonds d'indemnisation des victimes de pesticides acknowledged the link between Emmy's illness and her mother's occupational exposure.
Laure Marivain is challenging the compensation offered, seeking recognition for the suffering endured by her daughter and family.
The case has sparked calls for better regulation and awareness of pesticide use in the floral industry, which lacks strict controls compared to agriculture.
