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

The EPA recently suspended all future uses of Dacthal after its chief manufacturer failed to provide sufficient safety data addressing concerns about Dacthal’s potential effect on thyroid function and fetal development. But you can be sure Big Ag is going to do everything they can to keep using Dacthal. We need to be prepared to fight back.

Join EWG in urging the EPA to BAN Dacthal today!

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:
