Good news (heavy sarcasm): The Trump administration's USFWS has finalized a review of the pesticide atrazine and has concluded that the potent, cancer-linked endocrine disrupter does NOT pose an extinction risk to any threatened or endangered animals or plants. The court-ordered final review, which came in response to a legal challenge by the Center for Biological Diversity, was just released to the us last Friday. The controversial finding contrasts sharply with a epagov determination in 2021 that the pesticide is likely to harm more than 1,000 protected species. Atrazine is a known and common contaminant of water bodies, including drinking water, and it's so dangerous to both people and wildlife that it has been banned in more than 60 countries across the world. Yet it is the second most widely used pesticide in the United States. But don't worry, it definitely does NOT pose an extinction risk to protected species, according to the review! 😉 We've been fighting to ban this ...
