Should Chlorpyrifos Be Banned Globally?

Friend –

Last Thursday, a federal appeals court OVERRULED the EPA’s recent ban on chlorpyrifos, a pesticide linked to brain damage in children.

A plethora of studies show that chlorpyrifos is a neurotoxin that can cause harm to children’s developing brains, even at small doses. This brain-damaging pesticide is so harmful that the EPA attempted to ban not only its use on American crops but on imported crops as well.

The U.S. lags behind much of the world in regulating pesticides like chlorpyrifos, which has already been banned in Europe. After years of advocacy work from environmental organizations, including EWG, and over 95,000 petition signatures from EWG supporters like you, the EPA finally banned chlorpyrifos last year – but all it took was one court ruling for that work to be put in jeopardy.

Fortunately, this decision does not preclude the EPA from reinstating the ban, so EWG is resolved to continue this fight until all our food is free from chlorpyrifos. Can we count on you to help us formulate our plan of action? We need 3,570 of our top supporters to weigh in before midnight tonight.
