#ICantBelieveThat there's a European standard of #publichealth and an American standard. Public health should be public health. #BanDPA

[Banish Poison Apples @BanPoisonApples]

Worst #pesticide stories? We want to highlight what happens when "pretty produce" beats "public health." @smassol @ZacharyST @standearth

@ProfMeadow It endangers aquatic animals, such as turtles, in beautiful Lake Sunshine, our largest tourist draw. #BanDPA

@ruthschubert They're getting apples treated with DPA. Let's keep our kids healthy but keep eating locally grown. #BanDPA

@ruthschubert Protect yourself, loved ones by eating organic apples, apple juices, applesauce. Not an option for everyone. #banDPA https://t.co/J4ZAHRXp5Z

@Merts0812 A toxic chemical used to preserve apples. It hurts the eyes, lungs, and internal organs of orchard workers; endangers water animals. #BanDPA

[Banish Poison Apples @BanPoisonApples]

@Merts0812 It's this chemical that's used to treat produce - some nasty after-effects of making apples look good. https://t.co/i8BASYM1IE

Americans eat nearly 10 pounds per person of raw apples every year (USDA 2012). That’s a lot of #DPA! #BanDPA https://t.co/J4ZAHRXp5Z
