We're all exposed to pesticides, whether we like it or not.
Pesticide labels should identify all ingredients. Our national pesticide law only requires that certain
ingredients in a pesticide (called the active ingredients) be identified
on the label. All the others are misleadingly called inert ingredients,
and are not identified. These same ingredients escape from most of the
testing and evaluation required for active ingredients. They're not really
inert, just untested. We're all being kept in the dark as a favor to the
pesticide industry. It's time for a change.

Thanks for helping NCAP change pesticide policies. ******************************************************************************************* Dear Administrator Johnson, I'm concerned about inert ingredients in pesticides. I know that I'm exposed to pesticides regularly - at home, at work, and on my food. But right now I don't even know what's in those pesticides. You have said that your goal at EPA is to make sure that EPA's decisions
are based on good science. Ignorance is not good science. All pesticide ingredients should be identified on product labels. Thank you. Your name ************************************************************************************ |
