Chlorpyrifos (Lorsban) Safe From Ban
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.
The order denying the petition is here.
