(Beyond Pesticides<\/em>, December 16, 2024) The fact that three-quarters of all U.S. fruits and nuts and one-third of all U.S. vegetables are grown in California means that all U.S. food eaters have a stake in how food is grown there. California is proposing the continued use of the fumigant 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D, also known as Telone), which can cause deadly effects to farmworkers and endocrine disrupting effects to communities of people exposed through nontarget chemical drift from farmland.<\/p>\r\n

So, it is with deep concern that Beyond Pesticides is urging the state of California, where the chemical is undergoing review, to ban the toxicant. Endocrine disruption, an adverse effect for which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has never completed a pesticide testing protocol, adversely affects the functioning of glands and hormones and is linked to major life-threatening diseases in most organ systems in the body\u2014contributing to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Parkinson\u2019s, Alzheimer\u2019s, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, early puberty, infertility and other reproductive disorders, and childhood and adult cancers.<\/p>\r\n

In a recently released draft regulation, the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (CDPR) will allow highly elevated exposure to 1,3-D, ignoring the scientific literature and advice of the state\u2019s own toxicologists at its Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). CDPR is proposing to allow continued community exposure to 1,3-D at levels that are\u202ffourteen times higher<\/em>\u202fthan the State’s official cancer risk level, perpetuating environmental racism and endangering vulnerable communities. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n

CDPR’s draft regulation applies separate and unequal standards for different groups, allowing children and adult residents near agricultural fields to be exposed to significantly higher cancer risks than workers in neighboring fields\u2014the “occupational bystanders.” This discrepancy is unjustifiable and fails to uphold the principles of equity and environmental justice.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

For decades, 1,3-D has harmed communities, particularly Latino and Indigenous populations, who are disproportionately exposed to the pesticide. The state’s toxicologists have set a cancer risk exposure level of air concentrated with 1,3-D at 0.04 parts per billion (ppb) per day. Yet, CDPR\u202fhas adopted one regulation and is proposing another\u202ffor the same pesticide: one adopts the 1,3-D manufacturer Dow Chemical’s preferred exposure standard of 0.56 ppb per day for residents and children, while the other uses the OEHHA standard for occupational bystanders. Even for occupational bystanders,\u202fby disregarding off-the-clock exposure,\u202fDPR proposes implementing only 100-foot buffer zones, entirely inadequate for protection\u00a0against a fumigant that can drift for miles at harmful levels.<\/p>\r\n

Public health advocates think it is outrageous that EPA and CDPR would allow farmworkers\u2014whose labor was judged \u201cessential\u201d during the pandemic\u2014to be routinely exposed to highly toxic pesticides, which could be replaced by organic practices.<\/p>\r\n

1,3-D<\/a>\u00a0is a pre-plant soil fumigant registered for use on soils to control nematodes. It is allowed on all crops and is often\u00a0used with<\/a>\u00a0chloropicrin, another highly toxic fumigant, to increase its herbicidal and fungicidal properties. 1,3-D causes cancer. In addition, the National Institutes of Health’s\u00a0PubChem<\/a>\u00a0states, \u201cOccupational exposure is likely to be through inhalation and via the skin. Irritation of the eyes and the upper respiratory mucosa appears promptly after exposure. Dermal exposure caused severe skin irritations. Inhalation may result in serious signs and symptoms of poisoning with lower exposures resulting in depression of the central nervous system and irritation of the respiratory system. Some poisoning incidents have occurred in which persons were hospitalized with signs and symptoms of irritation of the mucous membrane, chest discomfort, headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and, occasionally, loss of consciousness and decreased libido.\u201d\u00a0Chloropicrin<\/a>\u00a0is extremely irritating to lungs, eyes, and skin. Inhalation may lead to pulmonary edema, possibly resulting in death.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

These and\u00a0other soil fumigants<\/a>\u00a0not only pose severe health threats to farmworkers and bystanders\u00a0but also threaten soil and water ecosystems. In contrast, organic production seeks to build healthy soils that resist plant pathogens, making fumigation unnecessary. Thus, these fumigants pose unreasonable adverse effects on humans and the environment and should be banned.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

The public has an opportunity to comment and Tell EPA and Congress to cancel the registration of all toxic soil fumigants and encourage organic alternatives<\/a>.<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Comment to California Department of Pesticide Regulation
\r\n<\/strong>The California Department of Pesticide Regulation\u2019s (DPR) draft regulation for the cancer-causing pesticide 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D, also known as Telone) continues to allow for exposure levels that are\u00a0fourteen times higher<\/em>\u00a0than the State’s official cancer risk level, perpetuating environmental racism and endangering vulnerable communities.<\/p>\r\n

DPR\u2019s draft regulation applies separate and unequal standards for different groups, allowing children and adult residents near agricultural fields to be exposed to significantly higher cancer risks than workers in neighboring fields\u2014the “occupational bystanders.” This discrepancy is unjustifiable and fails to uphold the principles of equity and environmental justice.<\/p>\r\n

For decades, 1,3-D has harmed communities, particularly Latino and Indigenous populations, who are disproportionately exposed to the pesticide. The State\u2019s own toxicologists at the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) have set an acceptable cancer risk exposure level of air concentrated with 1,3-D at 0.04 parts per billion (ppb) per day.

Inhalation may lead to pulmonary edema, possibly resulting in death.<\/p>\r\n

DPR must prioritize the health and safety of California\u2019s most vulnerable residents and adopt a single health-protective standard of 1,3-D air concentrations of 0.04 ppb for all Californians, ensuring equal protection from this carcinogenic pesticide. 1,3-D and other soil fumigants not only pose severe health threats to farmworkers and bystanders, but also threaten soil and water ecosystems. In contrast, organic production seeks to build healthy soils that resist plant pathogens, making fumigation unnecessary. Thus, these fumigants pose unreasonable adverse effects on humans and the environment and should be eliminated.<\/p>\r\n

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. 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\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"California Asked To Put an End to a Deadly Fumigant Used on Food Eaten Nationwide -

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. 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.
