(Beyond Pesticides<\/em>, March 5, 2018)\u00a0Even if you don\u2019t live in California, chances are that you eat \"\"food that is grown there. Unless all that food is organic, some of it<\/a> was probably sprayed with chlorpyrifos, exposing not only you, but also the farmworkers<\/a> responsible for its cultivation and harvest. Farmworker families \u2013especially children\u2014who usually live close to the treated fields, suffer higher impacts<\/a> than those living further away.<\/p>\n

Tell Governor Brown to ban chlorpyrifos now, for the sake of the children<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Five months after the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) issued its weak and inadequate draft risk assessment for the brain-harming pesticide chlorpyrifos, the state’s Scientific Review Panel (SRP) ordered DPR back to the drawing board to produce a much stronger draft that properly considers the risk of harm to the developing brain.<\/p>\n

In view of EPA\u2019s retraction of its proposal to revoke food residue tolerances of the highly neurotoxic insecticide chlorpyrifos<\/a>, despite its own assessment<\/a> that the chemical is too toxic to children, it is especially important that California take action to ban the chemical. California, the home of the largest agriculture industry in the country, used over one million pounds of chlorpyrifos on over a million acres in 2012. EPA\u2019s assessment is also supported by the classification of chlorpyrifos as a developmental toxicant by California\u2019s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), which oversees the \u201cProp 65\u201d list.<\/p>\n

EPA\u2019s\u00a0assessment, which incorporates recommendations from a 2016 federal Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP), finds that children exposed to high levels of chlorpyrifos have mental development delays, attention problems, attention-deficit\/hyperactivity disorder problems, and pervasive developmental disorders. The SAP agreed with EPA that there is an association between chlorpyrifos prenatal exposure and neurodevelopmental outcomes in children. In 2016, EPA concluded that there is \u201csufficient evidence\u201d that there are neurodevelopmental effects at low levels, and that current approaches for evaluating chlorpyrifos\u2019s neurological impact are \u201cnot sufficiently health protective.\u201d<\/p>\n

As stated by U.S. Senator Tom Udall (D-NM) in introducing S. 1624 to ban chlorpyrifos, \u201cThe science linking chlorpyrifos to brain damage and neurodevelopmental disorders in children is undeniable. The EPA’s own scientists have established that chlorpyrifos on food and in groundwater is a threat to public health and should be banned.”<\/p>\n

Epidemiological data also points to subpopulations that are disproportionately affected by chlorpyrifos exposures. Low-income African-American and Latino families, including farmworker families, continue to suffer the most, and this disproportionate impact creates an environmental justice problem that the state cannot continue to ignore.<\/p>\n

Tell Governor Brown to ban chlorpyrifos now, for the sake of the children.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Letter to Gov. Brown:<\/p>\n

I am writing to ask you to take action to ban the highly neurotoxic insecticide chlorpyrifos because of its devastating effect on children\u2019s brain function. I urge this action in view of the order by the state’s Scientific Review Panel telling DPR to produce a much stronger draft risk assessment for chlorpyrifos that properly considers the risk of harm to the developing brain, as well\u00a0as EPA\u2019s retraction, without new science, of its proposal to revoke food residue tolerances. California, the home of the largest agriculture industry in the country, used over one million pounds of chlorpyrifos on over a million acres in 2012. <\/em><\/p>\n

EPA\u2019s assessment agrees with the classification of chlorpyrifos as a developmental toxicant by California\u2019s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), which oversees the \u201cProp 65\u201d list. In 2016, EPA concluded that there is \u201csufficient evidence\u201d that there are neurodevelopmental effects at low levels, and that current approaches for evaluating chlorpyrifos\u2019s neurological impact are \u201cnot sufficiently health protective.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Please eliminate exposure to us and our children by banning this dangerous pesticide.<\/em><\/p>\n

By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/","https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/"],"url":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22211","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22211"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22211\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22223,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22211\/revisions\/22223"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22211"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22211"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22211"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
