#LaserWeeder :drgn_fire:🌱 : #Chemicals such as #paraquat, #dacthal and #glyphosate — also known as #RoundUp — have for decades been used to eliminate #weeds and pests from the state’s crops, but are increasingly associated with #cancer, #Parkinson’s disease, #kidney disease, respiratory ailments […]
We have #advocated against the use of #atrazine; now #EPA is taking comments—the current proposal downplays the herbicides' #risk to ecosystems, allows more #contamination, and applies a wishy-washy, #ineffective enforcement mechanism. #Dacthal #Standard #TakeAction📣 ow.ly/yp4250UEEXq
Eh... 'sti ambientalisti integralisti che mettono in guardia da decenni sull'uso (abuso) di certe sostanze chimiche.

2/3 #Paraquat poses similar elevated #hazards to people & the environment, has no antidote, & has viable alternatives. Therefore, we need to challenge EPA to apply the same standard in federal law that removed #Dacthal from the market. ⤵️ #imminenthazard

After @EPA announces raising allowable levels of toxic #atrazine in U.S. waterways from 3.4 to 9.7 µg/L, @ByondPesticides rallys public support for its removal under the #Dacthal standards of #harm, inability to mitigate #hazards, & available alternatives.

#Dacthal is used to control weeds in agricultural and non-agricultural settings, the #EPA says. It’s applied to grasses, artificial turf, crops including strawberries, cotton and field beans and vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and onions.

At first, some thought @EPA 's announcement was an #AprilFools prank... @theyesmen style. But no, this is real & no joke—especially for #farmworkers. Why not exercise imminent hazard authority & suspend #dacthal @EPA? #DCPA #pregnancy #healthrisks >> Blog:

Defying basic principles of #publichealth protection, @EPA warns #farmworkers of the risks of #dacthal or #DCPA instead of taking immediate steps necessary to eliminate #exposure to it ⚠️ #Takeaction >> Tell the agency to immediately suspend registration!
