Global Chemistries are Being Banned or Deregistered U.S. appeals court orders EPA to ban pesticide said to harm children Judge Jed Rakoff directed the EPA to ban chlorpyrifos within 60 days, saying the agency failed to counteract scientific evidence that its residue on food causes neurodevelopmental damage to children. -- Reuters; August 9, 2018 Bayer says U.S. glyphosate plaintiffs more than double since July Germany’s Bayer is now facing 42,700 U.S. Plaintiffs blaming its glyphosate-based weedkillers for their cancer, more than twice the tally in July and potentially raising any future settlement. -- Reuters; October 30, 2019 France bans crop pesticide metam sodium after people fall ill The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers metam sodium a probable human carcinogen … Still, metam sodium is among the most widely used agricultural pesticides in the United States. -- Reuters; November 5, 2018 How Has This Pesticide Not Been Banned? The pesticide known as chlorpyrifos is both clearly dangerous and in very wide use. It is known to pass easily from mother to fetus and has been linked to a wide range of serious medical problems, including impaired development, Parkinson’s disease and some forms of cancer. That’s not entirely surprising. The chemical was originally developed by Nazis during World War II for use as a nerve gas. -- The New York Times; December 17, 2019 5
