EPA urges permanent ban on DBCP pesticide in food crops
The Environmental Protection Agency proposed to permanently ban DBCP on most vegetable crops after a temporary suspension last October. Some uses remain allowed with strict training and protective clothing, while crops like broccoli, strawberries, and cucumbers would stay banned. The move aims to protect workers and the public from residue concerns amid cancer and fertility fears linked to the chemical.
