Pesticide companies can easily test their competitors\u2019 products to find out what\u2019s inside them. The reason that pesticide companies use the inert ingredient loophole is that they want to keep doctors, independent researchers, and you in the dark.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Good News<\/strong><br \/>\nThe new, improved EPA recently announced that it is considering requiring pesticide companies to disclose inert ingredients. After years of advocacy by CEH and other organizations, the agency has decided that \u201crevealing inert ingredients will help consumers make informed decisions and will better protect public health and the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is the opportunity that health advocates have been awaiting for over 20 years.<\/p>\n<p>The next step: until February 22, EPA is accepting public comments on the proposal, and you can play a vital role in this process.<\/p>\n<p>Almost certainly, the pesticide industry will shout (and whine) from the rooftops that disclosing secret ingredients will hurt their business, stop innovation in the pesticide industry, make pesticides less effective, raise the price of lettuce to twenty bucks a head, and turn your house into a cockroach haven.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What You Can Do<\/strong><br \/>\nTo do the right thing, EPA needs your support. It\u2019s crucial that the agency hear from you now to counter the self-serving and misleading pressure they\u2019re getting from the pesticide industry. <a href=\"http:\/\/org2.democracyinaction.org\/o\/6016\/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=637\">Please click here to read the letter organized by the Center for Environmental Health to EPA and add your name to it.<\/a> We need to gather thousands of signatures, so please share this with all of your friends and family who care about health and the environment.<\/p>\n<p>With your help, we can close the pesticide industry\u2019s inert ingredient loophole. It\u2019s an opportunity we can\u2019t afford to miss!<\/p>\n<p><em>Beyond Pesticides has advocated for the disclosure of pesticide products\u2019 inert ingredients for decades.

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\/3056","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=3056"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3056\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3065,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3056\/revisions\/3065"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3056"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3056"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3056"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
