EPA & Administrator (Finally) SUED

GMO Free USA

The EPA and its Administrator, Gina McCarthy, are being sued in Federal Court for refusal to require disclosure of the toxic nature of so-called inert ingredients used in pesticides. The EPA and its Administrator are endangering public health. "What we're challenging is EPA's inaction despite a body of evidence" that inert pesticide ingredients can be just as harmful as active ones, plaintiffs' attorney Yana Garcia told Courthouse News. "Chemicals listed as inert are not inert," she said. "Consumers think the inert ingredients are water or other benign substances used to mix the chemicals, but many are carcinogenic and others have acute impacts and still others have impacts that are currently unknown." The lawsuit was brought by The Center for Environmental Health, Beyond Pesticides and Physicians for Social Responsibility. Thank goodness somebody cares.
