California proposes new restriction on widely used pesticide to protect health and environment

2014-10-19 07:41:28| Chemicals - Topix.net

Pesticide manufacturers reached an agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency to stop the sale of chlorpyrifos, a powerful toxicant used as an insecticide in homes, lawns and gardens more than 14 years ago, due to associated health risks, according to a written report by Beyond Pesticides [PDF]. Chlorpyrifos are banned for use in homes, except in containers with treated baits.
