New information from @EFSA_EU proposes a safer, faster, and more effective alternative to the @EU_Commission's Omnibus “simplification” proposal, which would grant unlimited approval to #pesticides and inevitably lower the level of protection.

🇪🇸🚜 Environmental and health organisations in Spain have urged the government to urgently classify Parkinson's disease as an occupational illness for farmers exposed to #pesticides.

Trump’s #glyphosate executive order a ‘big middle finger to every MAHA mom’. “First President Trump sided with @Bayer-#Monsanto on #glyphosate at the Supreme Court, and now he’s elevating it through the Defense Department.” https://t.co/wHkVwHKovy
On this World Pesticide Day, we launch a campaign for better protection against dangerous #pesticides. No deregulation, but better implementation. Towards a toxic pesticide-free age.

Some politicians have dangerous ideas. This proposal by far right EU Commissioner @OliverVarhelyi would ditch science and put pesticide industry profits above health and environment. It would send the EU back to pre Rachel Carson chemical middle ages. @EU_Commission@vonderleyen
Major victory for @EuropePAN. Very problematic pesticides remain in use without re-assessment, despite scientific proof of damage to health and environment. They receive yearly prolongations, for some already 10 years. The EU Court declared this illegal.
🎉 The @EU_Commission cannot systematically and automatically grant extensions of #pesticide approvals in case of delays in the re-assessment process. This was clarified by the EU Court of Justice today in a case started by PAN Europe.

Bayer Monsanto stock alert! Next line of accountability cases coming up. After PCB, glyfosate and dicamba the next toxic legacy: TFA, the small PFAS omnipresent in our water.
💧📢 With 30 organisations we call for the protection of Europe’s citizens and water resources from the growing threat of trifluoroacetic acid (#TFA). This highly mobile, persistent and toxic #PFAS#pesticide is a threat to the environment.

Bayer poison threatens childrens development and pollutes our water with TFA, the small PFAS. The EU has banned it now, but sales and use continue till the end of 2026. Ridiculous!
🍎🍒 The EU doubts and hesitates. Still no ban is proposed for the most frequently found #PFAS in fruit and vegetables. It is high time to break this weakness and take highly necessary steps to protect health and biodiversity 🥦🥕

‼️Major step in EU's very first court case against #pesticide approval: Advocate General in EU's highest court agrees with part of our arguments in appeal against Toxic12 insecticide cypermethrin.

🇵🇱 Have a look at this impressive piece of work from Poland. In this online version of the “Toxic Chic - Poisoned everyday life” exhibition by Agro-Perma Lab you will see nice expressions combined with very fundamental texts.

Important step. PFAS Pesticides break down to persistent, very water soluble #TFA. And now German experts agree that it is reprotoxic. So in a couple of years all PFAS pesticides have to go. But why wait?
The German proposal to classify #TFA as toxic to reproduction 1B was published by @EU_ECHA. An important step that makes this breakdown product of #PFAS#pesticides a 'relevant metabolite', which should be monitored & not allowed to end up in our #water.

We are living through an unprecedented rise of #TFA. A synthetic chemical that is increasing in every medium that we can measure, from ice cores to water, to plant leaves and even in human blood.

Our water and health are in danger. A small #PFAS, called #TFA, is increasing in every media we can measure: water, wine, plant tissues and human blood. This expert video highlights the problems. We need to ban PFAS #pesticides now. #BanPFASpesticides
