“DCPA is so dangerous that it needs to be removed from the market immediately.”

Excerpt:
The Environmental Protection Agency recently issued an emergency order suspending the use of a weedkiller that can pose serious health risks to unborn babies. As The New York Times reported, it’s the first time the agency has made a move like this in nearly 40 years.
The pesticide is called dimethyl tetrachloroterephthalate (also known as DCPA or Dacthal), and pregnant mothers exposed to it could see low birth weight, impaired brain development, and decreased IQ in their children, according to the EPA.
“DCPA is so dangerous that it needs to be removed from the market immediately,” as Michal Freedhoff, the EPA assistant administrator for the Office of Chemical Safety, said in a statement, per the Times. “In this case, pregnant women who may never even know they were exposed could give birth to babies that experience irreversible lifelong health problems.”
The report notes that some farms opposed the ban, arguing that it’s essential for controlling grasses and weeds that impact yields in crops such as onions, broccoli, and cauliflower.
