EPA urged to approve inert disclosure despite pesticide industry opposition

摘要

An array of stakeholders — including state and local officials, environmental groups, beekeepers and organic food producers — are expressing strong support for public disclosure of inert ingredients in pesticides, echoing EPA's suggestion that revealing such information will help consumers and better protect public health and the environment. But the pesticide industry remains adamantly opposed, questioning EPA's authority to require disclosure of inerts and arguing the concept is a solution in search of a problem.
