The Environmental Protection Agency knows that organophosphates can cause long-term developmental harm in children. However, they are now disavowing their findings. Tell EPA to ban organophosphates.
The 8th Circuit’s decision vacates the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) final rule that revoked all tolerances for chlorpyrifos, thereby banning the use and presence of the neurotoxic pesticide on the foods we eat.
Patti Goldman, Managing Attorney, Northwest Office: “It took far too long, but children will no longer be eating food tainted with a pesticide that causes intellectual learning disabilities. Chlorpyrifos will finally be out of our fruits and vegetables.”
