A trio of US environmental and public health groups has filed suit against the EPA, alleging that the Agency had violated federal law by failing to complete a rulemaking that would require pesticide manufacturers to disclose inert ingredients on pesticide product labels. The EPA’s “unreasonable delay continues to leave the public uninformed and unable to protect themselves from the hazardous chemicals they are being exposed to through the use of pesticide products”, according to the March 5th complaint filed by law firm Earthjustice on behalf of Beyond Pesticides, the Center for Environmental Health and the Physicians for Social Responsibility.
