TAKE THE SURVEY: Should the U.S. follow California and BAN brain-damaging chlorpyrifos?

Remember, this pesticide is linked to serious health risks, like brain damage in children, even at incredibly low levels.

Thanks for standing with us, friend.

BREAKING: California to ban neurotoxic pesticide!

TAKE THE SURVEY: Should the U.S. ban brain-damaging chlorpyrifos?

Finally, friend.

California just announced it will ban chlorpyrifos, a brain-damaging pesticide, by February!

Chlorpyrifos is a particularly nasty pesticide linked to serious health effects like brain damage in children, even at incredibly low levels of exposure. According to the EPA’s own assessments, the levels of chlorpyrifos on food and in drinking water found in multiple independent studies are unsafe!

The EPA was poised to ban the pesticide, but in March 2017 the Trump EPA vacated the ban at the request of the pesticide industry. It’s time for the federal government to stop protecting the pesticide industry and start protecting public health.

EWG Action Fund is fighting to get chlorpyrifos out of our food, but we need your help. Do you have a moment to take our quick survey on toxic pesticides? Your response will help guide our work.

Should the U.S follow California’s lead and BAN brain-damaging chlorpyrifos?

YES
NO

Thanks for your feedback, friend.

VP of Digital Strategies, EWG Action Fund
