\"\"(Beyond Pesticides<\/em>, July 17, 2018) Last week, closing arguments were made in the 9th<\/sup> Circuit Court of Appeals challenging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s (EPA) refusal to ban chlorpyrifos, the pesticide science links to a host of neurological impairments in children. A coalition of labor and health organizations represented by Earthjustice asked a panel of three judges to overturn former EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt\u2019s decision not to ban chlorpyrifos.<\/p>\n

In June 2017, a dozen health, labor, and civil rights organizations represented by Earthjustice filed an\u00a0administrative appeal<\/a>\u00a0to EPA urging the federal government to ban chlorpyrifos. The attorneys general of New York, California, Washington, Massachusetts, Maine, Maryland and Vermont also filed their own appeal calling for a ban. The groups also filed a court case that asked the 9th Circuit Court in San Francisco to decide the issues presented in the administrative appeal because of the likelihood of a delayed resolution by the EPA. This was the last hearing where the health and labor groups, as well as states, were able to present their arguments to the court of appeals and answer the judges\u2019 questions. The New York Attorney General\u2019s office also presented arguments on behalf of seven states, which intervened in the case and are also calling for a ban on chlorpyrifos. After the argument, the judges will issue a written ruling, which could be within weeks or months.<\/p>\n

In March 2017, then Administrator Pruitt rejected<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0the\u00a0conclusions of EPA scientists<\/strong><\/a>, and independent scientific literature, and reversed a\u00a0tentative decision from 2015<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to revoke food residue tolerances of chlorpyrifos due to the chemical\u2019s neurotoxic impacts. This would have effectively banned chlorpyrifos from agriculture. This decision stemmed from a\u00a0petition<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0lawsuit<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0filed by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and Pesticide Action Network North America (PANNA) ten years ago, calling for EPA to revoke all chlorpyrifos tolerances and cancel all registrations. Pruitt\u2019s decision came weeks after he\u00a0met<\/a>\u00a0with the head of Dow Chemical, which sells chlorpyrifos under the name of Lorsban.<\/p>\n

Decades of scientific data show that chlorpyrifos\u00a0damages fetal brains<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and produces cognitive and behavioral dysfunctions, particularly in utero and in children. Even at\u00a0low levels of exposure<\/strong><\/a> chlorpyrifos can impact the developing fetus in pregnant women resulting in impaired learning, change in brain functions, and alter thyroid levels of children into adulthood.<\/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 issue that the agency must not continue to ignore. A\u00a02016 study<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0found lower IQ in children born to mothers who, during their pregnancy, were living in close proximity to chemical-intensive agricultural lands where OPs were used. A\u00a02015 study<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0found that a decrease in lung function in children was linked to exposure to organophosphates early in life. Another\u00a02015 study<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0found that prenatal exposure to\u00a0chlorpyrifos<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is linked to tremors in children. Although organophosphate use was on the decline in the U.S., EPA has allowed the continued registration of many of these products.<\/p>\n

Earthjustice\u2019s appeal was filed on behalf of the League of United Latin American Citizens, United Farm Workers, Farmworker Association of Florida, Labor Council for Latin American Advancement, Farmworker Justice, GreenLatinos, National Hispanic Medical Association, Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste, Learning Disability Association of America, California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation, Pesticide Action Network North America, and Natural Resources Defense Council.<\/p>\n

In light of gross federal inaction on this highly neurotoxic pesticide, the state of Hawaii became the first in the nation to take a stand and ban chlorpyrifos<\/a>. Governor David Ige signed\u00a0SB3095<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0into law, in light of the unanimous support it received from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. The statewide prohibition of chlorpyrifos will take effect beginning in January 2019. This legislative action marks the first time that any state in the country has passed an outright ban on the highly toxic pesticide. Hawaii\u2019s law contains a caveat that allows the state\u2019s Department of Agriculture (DOA) to grant special permits for companies that argue that they need more time to phase-out chlorpyrifos, but that exemption will end at the close of 2022. Lawmakers in\u00a0New Jersey and Maryland<\/strong><\/a> have recently tried unsuccessfully to pass similar bans.<\/p>\n

U.S. Senators Tom Udall (D-NM) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) have introduced a bill that would ban the use of the insecticide, chlorpyrifos. The Protect Children,\u00a0Farmers and Farmworkers from Nerve Agent Pesticides Act<\/a><\/em>,\u00a0S. 1624<\/strong>, comes one week after an appeals court\u00a0refused to require<\/strong><\/a> EPA to make a decision over whether to ban the chemical.<\/p>\n

Urge them to support the\u00a0Protect Children, Farmers, and Farmworkers from Nerve Agent Pesticides Act of 2017<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0to safeguard schools, neighborhoods, and workplaces from the unnecessary exposure to this neurotoxin.

Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. 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\/23027","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=23027"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23027\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23038,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23027\/revisions\/23038"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23027"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23027"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
