And now in 2024 they've issued an emergency order... > Effective Aug. 7, DCPA may not be sold, distributed or used in any manner. Consumers with current stocks of the product cannot use it. We need to start retesting pesticide safety more often and be more strict. Currently pesticides are only rechecked every 15 years

How about they just recheck when there is data to show their previous decision is wrong? What's the point of looking at the same data every 15 years?

while i whole heartedly agree, science and testing takes funding and being more strict requires teeth. neither of which is a popular idea with some people. being more strict would show results, but like above, showing results isn’t a popular idea with some people, they need inefficiencies to point towards.
