Under the leadership of its new Administrator, Scott Pruitt, EPA is denying a proposed ban on chlorpyrifos.
In part the press release says, “We need to provide regulatory certainty to the thousands of American farms that rely on chlorpyrifos, while still protecting human health and the environment,” said EPA Administrator Pruitt. “By reversing the previous Administration’s steps to ban one of the most widely used pesticides in the world, we are returning to using sound science in decision-making – rather than predetermined results.”
Here is the press release.
