The dangerous herbicide #atrazine is banned in 60 countries, yet it remains one of the most used pesticides in the US. A new analysis shows atrazine pollutes 25% of all continental US rivers at levels that can harm wildlife and may threaten human health.

The Trump administration's new interpretation of the Endangered Species Act “is not conservation,” warned one critic. “It is a license to destroy habitat, disrupt migration, pollute ecosystems, and drive endangered species toward extinction.” commondreams.org/news/endage…

Revealed: The @EPA worked directly with pesticide maker @Bayer to approve the controversial herbicide dicamba earlier this year, presenting the company with different options for reducing drift and runoff, according to internal agency records.

Center for Food Safety and our allies at Center for Biological Diversity sued to obtain records regarding the #pesticide dicamba's recent re-registration. What we found in the documents is shocking.
Pesticide approvals come out of a negotiation between the EPA and pesticide companies

Four groups (@foodandwater, @CFSTrueFood, @ALDF, and @WilRiverkeeper) sued Oregon regulators last week, alleging that the state's new water quality permits for large-scale animal farms fail to protect waterways and do not include adequate monitoring.

Today, CFS and allies sued Oregon over a new factory farm permit that fails to protect the state's waters from the vast quantities of waste produced by industrial livestock operations. The permit greenlights 350 massive factory farms, over 65% of all operations in Oregon.
"We are asking the Court to ensure this permit does not unlawfully and irresponsibly allow factory farms to shift the costs of their pollution onto the shoulders of Oregon communities and into our environment," said Suzannah Smith, CFS attorney

NEW: The EPA has approved new PFAS pesticides to be sprayed on the nation's crops after its pesticide office adopted industry-backed language excluding certain fluorinated chemicals from the agency’s PFAS designation. readsludge.com/2026/07/07/ch…

The Trump administration approved three new “forever chemical”-based pesticides last week for use on food crops, including corn and soybeans — the most widely grown crops in the country — as well as wheat, kiwi, oats, peas, broccoli and coffee.
These new chemicals — diflufenican, epyrifenacil, trifludimoxazin — have all been quietly approved without a standard press release.
Trump approved other PFAS-based pesticides cyclobutrifluram and isocycloseram earlier this year, and the first food use of chlormequat — which is already found in 90% of Americans’ blood.
An EPA scientist wrote in the approval documents that at least one of these new PFAS-based pesticides is “suggestive evidence of carcinogenic potential.”
These approvals come just days after the Supreme Court sided with chemical maker Bayer and the Trump administration in limiting Americans’ ability to sue pesticide companies for harms linked to pesticides.
Now, Americans will have a harder time holding companies accountable for the cancer-causing effects of their pesticides.
