Inerts: "EPA Considers Prohibiting Use of 72 Chemicals in Pesticides" [1]

"The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to remove 72 chemicals form the list of substances that can be used as ingredients in pesticides.

The move comes in response to calls by the Center for Environmental Health, physicians, and others across the U.S. for the EPA to propose rules mandating companies disclose the 371 ingredients found in pesticide products.

The EPA decided on a different route aimed at reducing the amount of hazardous chemicals in pesticides."
