Toxic threats

Tell the EPA to ban 2,4-D: a dangerous, drifting herbicide

2,4-D is a volatile weedkiller that remains in the air when it’s sprayed over crops, and can be carried on the wind to settle over lawns, gardens, and wild spaces where it has no business going. 2,4-D can remain airborne for weeks and travel for miles.

That’s a big problem, because this herbicide is damaging off-target plants and threatening human health. Research has linked 2,4-D to endocrine disruption and issues with cognitive function.

Growing our food shouldn’t destroy our environment or threaten our health. I strongly urge you to restrict the use of 2,4-D unless and until it’s proven safe.
