Chlorpyrifos has been linked to impaired development, Parkinson’s disease, and some types of cancer. It was originally developed in Germany during World War II as a nerve gas.
It has been banned in the European Union, Hawaii, and California.
The E.P.A. proposed a federal ban. After Trump was elected, the E.P.A. backed off. This past summer the E.P.A. said the data on chlorpyrifos was insufficient. Millions of acres in the U.S. are still being sprayed.
I am so tired of this administration and the people who enable it to do its evil work.
