The EPA Is Embracing PFAS Pesticides.

well this doesn't seem like a good idea?

"On Nov. 18, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved the use of the pesticide isocycloseram on golf courses, institutional settings, and decorative lawns, as well as on a host of crops, including cereal grains, dozens of types of peas and beans, tomatoes, oranges, almonds, and more. The move comes just two weeks after the agency approved another pesticide, cyclobutrifluram, for similarly wide use.

The particular problem with these pesticides is that both of them contain toxic PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. PFAS are more colloquially known as "forever chemicals," because that pretty much describes how long they linger in the environment. While they don't remain in the body quite as persistently, according to a 2020 study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, PFAS are present in the blood serum of 98% of Americans tested. The chemicals do get purged, principally in urine, but continued environmental exposure can steadily replace what has been eliminated."

PFAS have been linked by the EPA itself to an increased risk of a host of health effects, including decreased fertility, hypertension in pregnant people, increased risk of certain cancers (especially kidney cancer), developmental delays in children, hormonal irregularities, elevated cholesterol, reduced effectiveness of the immune system, and more.

The risk from Golf course and chemicals has been studied. Those unnaturally green thick golf course grass come at a cost.

for those living within a mile of a golf course, the risk of developing Parkinson's is 126 percent higher than for homeowners living more than six miles away.

It's No shock that almost everything we eat now is possibly cancer causing.
Anything the EPA approves was most likely the highest paying "customer"
Just another three-letter bullshit agency.  They're not in it for our well-being, just $$$ and power

I play golf twice a week, I'm probably at the same risk?

Maybe I need to eat more Bacon! 🤷🏻

You guys ever read the Times article "The Lawyer Who Became DuPont's Worst Nightmare" or saw the movie "Dark Waters"?

[YoDoug]

Be careful. You start going down the rabbit hole of just how evil big food and AG corps are and you will eventually be faced with the truth about what consuming animal products does to your health.

Don't need an excuse for that!

Government of the highest bidder, by the highest bidder, for the highest bidder.

Clearly I'm not high enough for this government to work for me.
