We and our members in many European countries campaign to have the #pesticides we know are the most #toxic banned. This includes the 50 most harmful ones that can have serious effects such as cancers, birth defects, hormonal disruption and pesticides that seriously harm the environment. The pesticide law says that they should be substituted with less toxic alternatives whenever possible. However, these rules are not respected by Member States and the Commission. So these substances are in our food, fields and water.
We have identified the 12 most toxic pesticides still authorised in the EU, our “Toxic 12”. We want them to be banned- now. And we're making progress: 2 of the 12 will be banned in 2024. So 10 more to go.
We also campaign to ban all #PFAS pesticides: these ‘forever chemicals’ are deliberately sprayed on fields and food. Support our work and help us to get rid of these poisons.
