The Center + allies recently scored a win banning the use of toxic herbicide dicamba on GMO cotton + soybeans — protecting monarchs & other #pollinators.🦋🐝 But Bayer (aka Monsanto) won't stop pushing this poison. Tell the U.S. EPA to deny dicamba's use➡️ bit.ly/3wON9Ku

Anatomy of a science meeting: How controversial pesticide research all but vanished from a major conference via U.S. Right To Know usrtk.org/bees-neonics/e…

Nearly all bees visiting NY orchards during bloom are exposed to pesticides. Honey bees, which travel farther than many wild bees, are exposed to more pesticides - including high levels of neonics, likely from seed-treated corn planted during apple bloom. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Look at what the industry knew about #PFAS in people and the drinking water and soil - all the places that they knew before we did.

The AQI in my area is currently over 150. It's not from wildfire smoke or pollution from smokestacks. This is all from people lighting off fireworks last night Just your yearly reminder that fireworks suck

Congress should follow science and reject Bayer push to block lawsuits thenewlede.org/2024/07/congre…

Opinion: Legislators on both sides of the aisle should "stand up for consumers and reject Bayer AG’s immoral push to block people suffering from cancer from suing the company," writes Nathan Donley of Center for Biological Diversity. Pesticide Action & Agroecology Network Beyond Pesticides thenewlede.org/2024/07/congre…

Opinion: Bayer AG "tried to covertly influence [glyphosate] research that was then falsely presented as being independent of the chemical giant," writes Nathan Donley of Center for Biological Diversity. Pesticide Action & Agroecology Network Beyond Pesticides thenewlede.org/2024/07/congre…

New research from PEER, Center for Biological Diversity, and EWG published today in Environmental Health Perspectives found that more and more toxic PFAS, known as “forever chemicals,” are being found in U.S. pesticide products, contaminating our food, our homes, our gardens, and our pets. ow.ly/MWU050SJamh

Pleased to announce that our research on PFAS in pesticides is finally out This is a multigenerational threat. The true harm won’t be realized in my lifetime, but in my children’s and grandchildren’s lifetimes. Our shortcomings should not be their burden to bear

DRIVE TIME 🔊: Nathan Donley, environmental health science director at the Center for Biological Diversity, joins Michael Wallace to discuss forever chemicals being found in pesticides used in homes, on food and on pets 🧪 bit.ly/4feRmZp

Study Finds ‘Forever Chemicals’ Are Increasingly Common in Pesticides “What our research showed is that this issue is a lot bigger than many people have thought, and the trend is really worrisome.” –Nathan Donley buff.ly/4ddCxnV

Prairie Rivers Network has been documenting the extensive, ubiquitous damage from 2,4-D and dicamba drift to native trees across Illinois for years now. We need to move away from the herbicide treadmill if we want to maintain ecosystem health chicagotribune.com/2024/08/04/her…

#ICYMI...NEW COMMENTARY: Forever Pesticides: A Growing Source of PFAS Contamination in the Environment ➡️ buff.ly/3LENoLS Nathan Donley Dr. Kyla Bennett, PEER

Biodiversiy is declining, yet we have limited knowledge about how that affects human well-being. My work linking bats, insecticide use, and human infant health is out today in Science (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…), and tells a complex story about how those are connected.

In places where bat populations crashed, insect numbers increased, farmers sprayed more insecticides to combat the insects, and the infant mortality rate spiked due to pesticide exposure. Everything is connected. We need biodiversity. bit.ly/3XwmbBO

A looming and poorly regulated PFAS threat comes from these chemicals’ common use in pesticides on farms nationwide | Opinion trib.al/FEtkwWK

Opinion piece by myself and Dr. Kyla Bennett, PEER on the emerging threat of PFAS in pesticides We don't know yet if the lasting harms will rival that of DDT, but do we really need to roll the dice? scientificamerican.com/article/pfas-i…
