EPA Drops Plan to Approve Pesticide
Thursday, May 18, 2006
Methyl bromide which has been used in strawberry fields for years has been banned because it harms the Earth's ozone layer. However, farmers still use this dangerous chemical because they have yet to find a fumigant replacement. The problem with the proposed substitute pesticide, methyl iodide, is that it is also a toxic and dangerous chemical. The EPA has decided to hold off for another year before approving one dangerous chemical for another. Hey, it's a start in the right direction.
