Did you see EWG’s 2022 Dirty Dozen™ list, friend?

This year EWG scientists found a cancer-linked pesticide on nearly 60% of kale samples! Check out the full report below to protect your family from harmful pesticide residues.

We make our easy-to-use pesticide research free for everyone, but Big Ag wants to shut it down. They’ve been trying to discredit our work for years, calling EWG “fake news” and claiming that we’re “scaring people fat.” Outrageous!

They care more about their profits than about protecting your health or the environment.

We need your help to fight back and keep up our essential work. Donate $15 or more to support EWG’s pesticide work and we’ll send you a 2022 Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen™ bag tag as a thank-you.

Creating EWG’s annual Dirty Dozen list is costly work. We can only do it with your support, friend. Any amount you can contribute will make a difference.

Thank you,

Many Americans turn to leafy greens for a healthy dose of essential vitamins and antioxidants, but they may be unknowingly getting a side of Dacthal, a cancer-linked pesticide. EWG scientists found cancer-linked Dacthal on nearly 60 percent of kale samples!

Even after thoroughly washing, 86 percent of kale and other leafy greens contained questionable levels of toxic pesticides. Learn more below:

Dacthal: can cause harm to lungs, liver, kidney and thyroid; possible carcinogen; prohibited in Europe; found on nearly 60% of kale

EWG is calling on the Environmental Protection Agency to immediately ban Dacthal. This cancer-linked pesticide was already banned by the European Union back in 2009, but the EPA has failed to take action. We shouldn’t have to worry about cancer-linked chemicals contaminating leafy greens.

Join EWG and urge the EPA to BAN Dacthal today!

Strawberries are once again at the top of this year's Dirty Dozen list, taking first place for produce with the highest levels of pesticide residues. Ninety-nine percent of strawberries have pesticide residues, and we found up to 22 different pesticides on a single strawberry!

Pesticides on strawberries include: Carbendazim: Hormone disruptor found on 16% of strawberries, and Bifenthrin: Possible carcinogen found on 29% of strawberries. 99% of strawberries have pesticide residues, and up to 22 different pesticides can be found on a single strawberry sample.

Bee-killing neonic pesticides were found on more than 15 percent of non-organic produce samples. These pesticides were banned in the EU in 2018 because of their harm to pollinators. Meanwhile American bumble bee populations have plummeted while Big Ag continues to dump millions of pounds of neonics on American farmland each year. Learn more below:
