...and 36 of them are in use within the United States.
Emphasis below on chlorpyrifos which Trump's EPA took off the EPA's banned list. EPA bulletin written before Trump took office:
"...Thirty-six of them [organophosphates] are presently registered for use in the United States, and all can potentially cause acute and subacute toxicity. Organophosphates are used in agriculture,
homes, gardens and veterinary practices; however, in the past decade, several notable OPs have been discontinued for use, including parathion, which is no longer registered for any use, and chlorpyrifos, which is no longer registered for home use. ..."

- benihana 10y agoThank you for making this a partisan issue about Donald Trump instead of a human health issue. By pointing fingers at a person (who represents a different ideology) you basically guarantee people will be polarized into a "my team vs their team" mentality, instead of focusing on the actual health issues. But hey, at least my ego is satisfied and my worldview that Donald Trump and Republicans are evil is maintained. That's really what's important here.
