Chemical companies agreed not to fight California's ban of Chlorpyrifos, a pesticide linked to learning disabilities.
Chemical companies gave up their fight over California’s ban of the pesticide chlorpyrifos, which has been linked to learning and development disorders.
“For years, environmental justice advocates have fought to get the harmful pesticide chlorpyrifos out of our communities,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said. “Thanks to their tenacity and the work of countless others, this will now occur faster than originally envisioned. This is a big win for children, workers and public health in California.”
Corteva AgriScience, formerly known as Dow AgroSciences, is the largest manufacturer of the chemical. A company official wasn’t immediately available for comment.
