"Twenty days later Pruitt announced his decision to deny a petition to ban Dow’s chlorpyrifos pesticide from being sprayed on food, despite a review by his agency’s scientists that concluded ingesting even minuscule amounts of the chemical can interfere with the brain development of fetuses and infants"

The American Academy of Pediatrics urged Pruitt on Tuesday to take chlorpyrifos off the market. The group representing more than 66,000 pediatricians and pediatric surgeons said it is “deeply alarmed” by Pruitt’s decision to allow the pesticide’s continued use.

“There is a wealth of science demonstrating the detrimental effects of chlorpyrifos exposure to developing fetuses, infants, children, and pregnant women,” the academy said in a letter to Pruitt. “The risk to infant and children’s health and development is unambiguous.”

Woohoo for deregulation and swamp draining. Seems to be going swimmingly!

Seems like conservatives only care about keeping people from abortions but the health of a fetus is less important than money

"Despite several years of study, EPA has concluded that the science addressing chlorpyrifos remains unresolved," Bowman said Tuesday. We will make a decision based on the science, not on real — or perceived — pressure from companies or environmental activists."

"Before coming to EPA in March, Bowman directed issue advocacy and communications for the American Chemical Council, an industry trade group of which Dow is a member."

"Pressed at a congressional hearing this month to cite evidence that chlorpyrifos is safe, Pruitt said his decision was based on "meaningful data and meaningful science."

Imagine that. Using your brain to make decisions.

Maybe the left should try this technique once in a while.

Do you even read the articles that you post and try to twist to your agenda?

"EPA spokeswoman Liz Bowman said Tuesday that Pruitt was "briefly introduced" to Liveris at the conference."

"They did not discuss chlorpyrifos," Bowman said. "During the same trip he also met with the Canadian minister of natural resources, and CEOs and executives from other companies attending the trade show."

This should have been posted in the Conspiracy forum...

That's right go back to trying to make fun of me instead of defending the fact that the Trump regime is putting business and money over health.

Again you only care about fetuses and not children.

You are all pathetic

despite a review by his agency’s scientists that concluded ingesting even minuscule amounts of the chemical can interfere with the brain development of fetuses and infants"

Didn't Bill Clinton meet with someone on an airplane and you all assumed it was about something related to his wife? I find the hypocrisy pretty thick up in here

Have you ever heard the phrase two wrongs don't make a right?

Why is it impossible for you to discuss Trump's and his cabinets behavior without bringing up a Clinton?

I'm not searching back through your parade of previous MPDs to find the posts... so I'll call it this way...

You are a democrat, leftist, marxist, commie POS which places you squarely in the corner with every other democrat, leftist, marxist, commie POS that whined over W for eight years.
