A study published in Frontiers in Agronomy found that training farmers in agroecological practices helps to protect them from the harmful impacts of pesticides. It also increases their income. www.pan-uk.org/agroecologic...

Pesticide Action Network (PAN) UK found 12 food items were at risk of a “cocktail effect”, meaning several pesticides mixed together increase the toxicity level of the chemicals. www.the-independent.com/new...

Researchers looked at how per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as PFAS, affected fetal health after these chemicals contaminated the drinking water supply. wapo.st/4oMSJBV

EPA dismissed new research by international cancer experts that warns of links between cancer and the widely used pesticide atrazine, deriding the team of cancer scientists and echoing atrazine maker Syngenta in its criticism. www.thenewlede.org/2025/12/...

PFAS in pesticides is woefully understudied. EPA should ensure that any new pesticides are scientifically proven to be safe for humans and the environment *before* approving them for registration. civileats.com/2025/12/10/wh...

These exemptions are going to expose people—many of whom are already overburdened by existing pollution, climate hazards, health harms, and social stressors—to more toxic air. www.ucs.org/resources/dirty...

Trump and RFK Jr. aren't making America healthy again—in fact, they're making our nation's health care worse. @cmkelly.bsky.social explains how the administration is undermining its own MAHA agenda:
