\"\"(Beyond Pesticides<\/em>, April 4, 2019) Contamination of drinking water with toxic breakdown products and risks to fish and and amphibians has led to a ban on the fungicide chlorothalonil<\/a> in the European Union (EU). While the pesticide will be out of use in the EU next decade, tens of millions of pounds<\/a> will continue to be sprayed throughout the U.S. unless regulators take action quickly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe [chlorothalonil ban] is based on [the European Food Safety Authority\u2019s] EFSA\u2019s scientific assessment<\/a> which concluded that the approval criteria do not seem to be satisfied for a wide range of reasons,\u201d a spokeswoman for the European Commission told The Guardian. \u201cGreat concerns are raised in relation to contamination of groundwater by metabolites of the substance.\u201d<\/p>\n

EFSA\u2019s review of chlorothalonil categorized it as a 1B carcinogen, meaning it \u201cmay cause cancer,\u201d with the most significant risk found for kidney cancer based on laboratory animal studies. Further research was needed into many of the metabolites (break-down substances) created when chlorothalonil degrades. However, regulators determined enough data was present to conclude that these breakdown substances may be genotoxic, with the potential to damage DNA and lead to cancer.<\/p>\n

European regulators also identified a high acute risk to amphibians, and chronic risks to fish from chlorothalonil-contaminated water. \u00a0However, many European advocates are concerned that the assessment did not adequately characterize the risks the fungicide poses to wild pollinators. EFSA found low risks to honey and bumblebees at both acute and chronic doses, but advocates indicate these data should have precipitated follow up tests on wild pollinators. Matt Shardlow of the European environmental non-profit Buglife told The Guardian<\/a>, \u201cInstead the EU process failed to apply the EFSA guidance on assessing risk to bees<\/a>, so there were no bumblebee safety tests. When will regulators learn the lessons, stop kowtowing to the demands of the pesticide manufacturers and start applying the Efsa guidance that was finalised in 2013?\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior research backs up Buglife\u2019s concerns. A 2018 study<\/a> found that pollinators display a concerning attraction to chlorothalonil. Research from Cornell University in 2017<\/a> even singled out chlorothalonil as a contributing factor to the ongoing decline of pollinators. A 2016 study<\/a> found that chlorothalonil altered the microbiome of honey bees, and a 2015 study<\/a> showed reduced bumblebee colony size and health after exposure to the fungicide.<\/p>\n

Although regulators did not go further with data relating to potential wild pollinator impacts, the justification surrounding impacts to aquatic species matches up with recent independent scientific literature. In 2011, a study<\/a> found that chlorothalonil, even at low doses, poses significant risks to a range of frog species. And building on that research, a year later<\/a> scientists determined that the chemical altered the proper functioning of aquatic ecosystems.<\/p>\n

While EU regulators have been hard at work reviewing the impacts of this chemical and its effects on human health and aquatic species, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is two years late<\/a> on a workplan it set for itself on chlorothalonil. EPA estimated it would open a review document for the chemical in 2016, but the most recent action taken, according to the agency\u2019s docket folder on regulations.gov<\/a>, was a meeting with the chemical\u2019s registrant Syngenta (now owned by ChemChina)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chlorothalonil has been in use since the 1960s, yet only now are regulators beginning to understand its impacts to human health, water quality, pollinators and aquatic species; after half a century and tens of millions of pounds of use. Cases like these are not rare, or an exception, but frustratingly common in the world of pesticide regulation.<\/p>\n

But, in conjunction with an increasing understanding of the toxicity of chemicals once used with minimal scientific review, is a growing realization that they\u2019re simply unnecessary to grow food or maintain healthy landscapes. A 2017 study<\/a> found that farmers can sustain yields and profit margins while eliminating their pesticide use. And a United Nations report published around the same time<\/a> sharply criticized the \u201cmyth\u201d perpetuated by the agrichemical industry that toxic pesticides are necessary to feed the world.<\/p>\n

Join Beyond Pesticides in urging civilization off the pesticide treadmill by going organic<\/a> whenever and wherever possible \u2013 in your food choices, your backyard, and community. The more that we create and promote organic systems that do not necessitate toxic pesticides, the greater chance we have to leapfrog the decades-long timelines regulators take to restrict hazardous chemicals in the environment.<\/p>\n

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\/24549","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=24549"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24549\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24578,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24549\/revisions\/24578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24549"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24549"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
