Trump's EPA Just Greenlighted a Pesticide Known to Damage Kids’ Brains

[Uncensored2008]

Now we know why Trump picked Scott Pruitt to do his dirty work for him.

Oh... dig this;

EPA chief Scott Pruitt hails the move as a return to “using sound science in decision-making.”

This happened back at the end of March but got lost in the shuffle of Trump sucking all the oxygen out of the room with his daily screw ups.


EPA director Scott Pruitt signed an order denying the agency’s own proposal to ban chlorpyrifos, according to a Wednesday afternoon press release. “We need to provide regulatory certainty to the thousands of American farms that rely on chlorpyrifos, while still protecting human health and the environment,” Pruitt said in a written statement. “By reversing the previous Administration’s steps to ban one of the most widely used pesticides in the world, we are returning to using sound science in decision-making – rather than predetermined results.”

So Obama banned this pesticide that gives children brain cancer. Trump is reversing it.

You must have eaten pounds of the stuff as a child.....

 

[Reasonable]

Once again the Trump whores even support this decision to damage our citizen's health.

 

[Reasonable]

From Factcheck.org:
Based on the available research, there is evidence to suggest that chlorpyrifos negatively impacts the development of children.

Glad to know the Trumpies approve of Trump green lighting a pesticide that gives kids brain damage.
Wonder if you'd feel the same if it gave your kid brain cancer..

Chlorpyrofis is an organophosphate pesticide and acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. It isn't linked to cancer, but to the inhibition of neurotransmitter dissolution.

There are over 40 such pesicitides in commercial use today totaling 73 million pounds per annum.

As previously stated, the EPA under Obama sets safe levels of ingested organophosphate pesticide at 12 times the amount found in any population study.

 

[Reasonable]

And you continue to ignore the facts. Another one of the smear Trump with any ole crap we can makeup stories again. Have fun.

I just posted the facts from fact check.org.

Once again you'll even defend Trump even if it hurts your own children's health.

Negative impacts on the development of children isn't cancer. And the Obama EPA disagrees with you at dosage levels found in the general population. Read the EPAs own study which I linked above.

Court rejects greens’ appeal of EPA decision not to ban pesticide

From your link:,
EPA head Scott Pruitt rejected the green groups’ petition to ban the use of chlorpyrifos on food crops. The agency’s own research ( OBAMA's EPA) had found a link between neurological development problems and chlorpyrifos exposure in children and fetuses, but Pruitt questioned those findings and pointed to the cost of restricting the pesticide’s use.

Yup.,, it's about money. Children's health be damned.

 

[depotoo]

He was in office for 8 yrs and yet it was never done.

So why didn't Obama's EPA? It's been used since 1965.

The Environmental Protection Agency has rejected a petition from environmental groups that sought to ban a pesticide widely used in Northwest fruit orchards, a decision that reversed an Obama administration proposal to end its use.

 

[Reasonable]

Trump's EPA is going to approve a dangerous pesticide on children's health.

Trump whores: but Obama.

Ah yes... there's the rub:

Dow Chemical gave $1 million to Trump’s inauguration, now wants pesticide risk study buried

They might also bury the fact that they've given the Clintons quite a bit of money...

Pesticide that Trump's EPA refused to ban blamed for sickening farm workers

Yup real safe.

 

[fncceo]

The acute dermal LD50 for chlorpyrifos in male and female rats is greater than 2,000 mg/kg

That's 80 million times the EPA acceptable level for daily intake and 960 million times the largest amount found in any child in any study.

It's from Breitbart so it's null and void..
And laughably when you can't defend Trump you run right to Hillary or Obama.
Neither are president. Trump is. He's the one that is more than willing to sacrifice our citizens health.

Children are simply NOT exposed. Unless they are working in the fields. It's NOT a persistent toxic substance.

Nearly 50 farm workers experienced nausea and vomiting apparently caused by a pesticide whose scheduled ban was overturned by the Trump administration.
Gee I guess it's not safe like you're trying to push

Wrong:,
Chlorpyrifos is used to control many different kinds of pests, including termites, mosquitoes, and roundworms.

That's not precisely true. Children can be exposed by residual levels on food and in the water supplies. But EPA did studies on the levels of such exposure and the highest levels they found were .009 mcg/kg in adults and .025 mcg/kg in toddlers (because of their lower body weight). This is several times lower than the acceptable EPA daily intake limit of .3mcg/kg.

Did you read the Mother Jones article? There is SUSPICION that this pesticide MIGHT be involved. Most any aerial spraying will give people similar symptoms. Patience....
