The USA allows toxic pesticides banned in other countries to be used in our schools, parks, homes, gardens, food…
Approximately 1/3 of the annual USA pesticide use, over 300 million pounds from 85 different pesticides, are from pesticides banned in the European Union.
“Leukemia incidence in the United States has increased by 21% since 1976…
brain cancer incidence by 45%…
Cancer is now the leading cause of death by disease among American children under the age of 15 years.”
“Evidence is great and growing that environmental exposures, and especially exposures to manufactured chemicals, are in fact important contributors to childhood cancer. Children today are surrounded by an estimated 350,000 manufactured chemicals and chemical mixtures.”
“Prenatal exposure to acephate and other pesticides can increase the risk of retinoblastoma, or eye cancer, in children.”
“We know PFOS is a carcinogen, we know it’s a deadly chemical and there’s no safe level in drinking water,”
Despite paraquat being banned in 58 countries, including the EU and China, the EPA reapproved the pesticide’s registration for another 15 years.
…documents show that insiders feared they could face legal liability for long-term, chronic effects of paraquat as long ago as 1975. One company scientist called the situation “a quite terrible problem” for which “some plan could be made”.
“The records also show that Syngenta worked for decades to create and at times, covertly manipulate, the scientific record in order to downplay or dispute a connection between paraquat and Parkinson’s.”
“Ten agricultural pesticides…were associated with faster symptom progression.”
“…the herbicide paraquat (PQ) has profound adverse effects on wildlife…these adverse effects span beyond the wilderness, as exposure to this highly toxic herbicide also impacts the health of people working with this chemical…or living adjacent to areas of chemical use.”
“Time and time again, the evidence has shown that dicamba cannot be used without causing massive and unprecedented harm to farms as well as endangering plants and pollinators,” said George Kimbrell, legal director of the Center for Food Safety, which litigated the case.
“In this first evaluation of liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancer, there was an association with increasing use of dicamba that persisted across lags of up to 20 years.”
“Residential exposure to pesticides in an urban population of predominantly African-American women was associated with increased systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) risk.”
“A national study that enrolled a highly diverse group of pregnant women over a 12-year period found rising exposure to chemicals from plastics and pesticides that may be harmful to development.”
“…organophosphate (OP) insecticides and the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2/Covid-19) illicit similar damage to the heart and co-occurring exposure to both can escalate cardiac (heart) injury.”
“Montrose used above-ground storage tanks to store its acid waste, according to the EPA. Tanker trucks then transported the waste to the Port of Los Angeles and pumped it into barges. Finally, the barges were towed to the disposal site off the Palos Verdes Peninsula, where the waste was dumped.”
“In April 2021, scientists from UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography released a survey that found more than 27,000 barrels of unknown contents at depths of up to 3,000 feet and across 36,000 acres of seafloor off the Palos Verdes Peninsula.”
“From 2004 to 2015, over 2 billion pounds of pesticides have been used in California, with the most recent numbers indicating an annual use of 209 million pounds. Though it represents only 2-3% of total U.S. cropland, the Golden State uses up to 20% of all pesticides employed in the U.S.”
“The EPA noted in 2002 that 635 miles of waterways crossing the Central Valley were compromised by agricultural pesticides, rendering the water unsafe for fishing, swimming, or drinking. Moreover, runoff from cultivated land that reaches the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers can contaminate drinking water sources serving millions of Californians, including urban areas like San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego.”
“EWG’s analysis identified 61 pesticides sprayed in Ventura County that are linked to cancer, 77 pesticides that may harm the nervous system, 75 pesticides that may interfere with the hormonal system, 46 pesticides that may cause harm to the thyroid, and 88 that alter development or reproduction in laboratory animals.”
“Almost 70 percent of homes in Ventura County are within 2.5 miles of agricultural pesticide use.”
“More than one in four homes are a half-mile or less from fields sprayed with pesticides that have been linked to serious health harms, including cancer, neurotoxicity and harm to development and reproduction.”
“33 elementary schools in the county are within a quarter-mile of farming operations where pesticides are sprayed.”
“Pesticide spraying in or around wildlife refuges threatens the survivability and recovery of species that inhabit the area.” “These pesticides include dicamba, 2,4-D, glyphosate, and paraquat, which are highly toxic to fish, amphibians, crustaceans, and other animals—causing everything from birth and reproductive defects to cancer.”
Adopt the Malibu IPM
City of Malibu, CA Earth Friendly Management: the gold standard Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan. No pesticides or synthetic fertilizers allowed!
“The deliberate dispersion of microplastics in the environment through the application of plastic-coated fertilizers and pesticides is one of the most direct and preventable sources of growing microplastic pollution in agricultural soils.
The use of plastic-coated synthetic fertilizers and pesticides is rising, with producers marketing their “controlled-release” function as a key to sustainable, climate-friendly agriculture.
Encapsulating agrochemicals in plastic and spreading them across soils and crops only compounds the significant health and environmental risks posed by agrochemicals and may exacerbate their harmful impacts.”
“…the agricultural sector is one of the most significant users of intentionally added microplastics.”
“…99% of all synthetic chemicals —including pesticides — are derived from fossil fuels, and several oil and gas companies play major roles in developing pesticide ingredients.”
“The most widely used pesticide chemicals in the United States are not listed on product labels…do not undergo the same safety reviews as the active ingredient in pesticide products.”
“In conclusion, these results show that most herbicide formulations tested in this study are more toxic than their active ingredients in human tissue culture cell model systems.”
“The results add to a growing body of evidence, which implies that commercial herbicide formulations and not just their active ingredients should be evaluated in regulatory risk assessment of pesticides.”
“For some pesticides, PFAS levels are nearly one billion times higher than the EPA’s recently updated Health Advisory”
“…exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals like pesticides, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), among others, may increase pediatric (child) liver injury and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) risk…”
“EPA’s Office of Inspector General said the environmental agency broke with its own procedures and standards of transparency in downgrading the cancer risk classification of 1,3-Dichloropropene…”
‘That decision during the Trump administration in 2019 changed an assessment in place since 1985 that 1,3-D is “likely to be carcinogenic to humans.”'‘

Stops the use of neonicotinoids and other pesticides hurting bees and other pollinators
Research shows pesticides are reducing pollinators…we’ve lost 89% of bumblebees over the last 20 years and numbers of monarchs have dropped by 80% since the 1990s
Pollinators are responsible for 1 of every 3 bites of food….they add $125 billion to the global economy

“New York state on Friday became the first state in the nation to pass legislation restricting neonicotinoid pesticides (neonics) that are toxic to bees and other pollinators and wildlife.”
“…neonicotinoids exposures were found in T1D children, and they were associated with changes in gut microbiota featured with lower abundance of butyrate-producing genera, which might increase the risk of T1D.”
“Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) denied a formal petition by the Center for Food Safety (CFS) and others, requesting the agency to correct its failure to regulate pesticide-coated seeds, which are known to be widely harming bees and other pollinators1.”
“The reason neonics are bad is the same reason they’re used in the first place—to insects, they’re some of the most deadly pesticides ever created. The problem is that they kill indiscriminately, exterminating not only “pest” insects but also countless butterflies, bees, and other wildlife. In fact, since their introduction, neonics have made U.S. agriculture nearly 50 times more harmful to insect life.”
“Pesticide residues were detected in 59% of US food samples tested by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in its most recently completed annual testing program, the agency revealed in a new report.
Roughly 77% of domestic fruits, 60% of US vegetables and about 53% of US grains sampled showed residues.”
Glyphosate (RoundUp)
“According to the AAP report, going organic is a good approach where families can afford it: “A major benefit of organic food is that it substantially reduces dietary exposure to pesticides. Studies show that consuming a primarily organic diet reduces the body’s pesticide burden by about 90%.””
“A new peer-reviewed study…has revealed an astonishingly strong link between severe depression, cognitive decline and exposure to the world’s most used herbicide, glyphosate.”
“In conclusion, our study provides important evidence of an association between…glyphosate levels and adverse neurological outcomes in a representative cohort of U.S. adult population.”
“…childhood exposure to glyphosate is linked to liver inflammation and metabolic syndrome in early adulthood. These conditions can lead to liver cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.”
“An Arizona State University (ASU) study shows that the popular herbicide glyphosate can infiltrate the brain through the blood (blood-brain barrier), increasing neurological disease risk.”
“Oxidative stress is not something you want to have,” said Linda Birnbaum, a toxicologist and former director of the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences. “This study increases our understanding that glyphosate has the potential to cause cancer.”
“The study findings come after the CDC reported last year that more than 80% of urine samples drawn from children and adults contained glyphosate.”
“…finding glyphosate in 99% of the pregnant women they observed in the Midwest…higher glyphosate levels were associated with lower birth weight and may also lead to higher neonatal intensive care unit admission risk.”
“Glyphosate…promoted growth of T47D cells via estrogen receptors.”
“US government scientists have detected a weedkiller linked to cancer in an array of commonly consumed foods, emails obtained through a freedom of information request show.”
“But the internal documents obtained by the Guardian show the FDA has had trouble finding any food that does not carry traces of the pesticide.”
“Residues of glyphosate have been documented in an array of popular foods made with crops sprayed with glyphosate, including baby food. The primary route of exposure for children is through the diet.”
Glyphosate is now linked to "autism ... gastrointestinal issues such as inflammatory bowel disease, chronic diarrhea, colitis and Crohn's disease, obesity, cardiovascular disease, depression, cancer, cachexia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and ALS, among others."
“Writing for a unanimous three-judge panel, Judge Michelle Friedland said EPA’s finding of no risk to human health “was not supported by substantial evidence.” She also ruled that EPA fell short of its obligations under the Endangered Species Act by inadequately examining glyphosate’s impact on animal species and vegetation.”
“The Supreme Court declined on Tuesday to hear an appeal by Bayer, allowing lawsuits claiming glyphosate, the main active ingredient in the weed killer Roundup, causes cancer to move forward.”
The USA allows toxic pesticides banned in other countries to be used in our schools, parks, homes, gardens, food…
In 2017 & 2018, the EPA registered more than 100 pesticides with ingredients widely considered to be dangerous.
Approximately 1/3 of the annual USA pesticide use, over 300 million pounds from 85 different pesticides, are from pesticides banned in the European Union.

“…urban greenspaces and adjacent natural areas (i.e., natural/semi-natural ecosystems) shared similar levels of multiple soil contaminants (metal(loid)s, pesticides, microplastics, and antibiotic resistance genes) across the globe.”
“…pesticides were found to harm organisms critical to maintaining healthy soils—harms that have never been considered in the EPA’s safety reviews. Pesticide-intensive agriculture and pollution are driving factors in the precipitous decline of many soil organisms, such as ground beetles and ground-nesting bees. They have been identified as the most significant driver of soil biodiversity loss in the past decade.”
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Nontoxic Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Plan
A nontoxic IPM is needed in ALL school districts, cities and counties.
IPM is an ecosystem-based strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests, or their damage, through a combination of techniques such as biological control, habitat manipulation, modification of cultural practices, and use of resistant varieties without the use of toxic chemicals.

“They are better at killing pests, reducing plant damage and increasing crop yields, according to the first systematic review of ants’ contributions to crop production.”
“In January 2016, the state of Sikkim…succeeded in becoming the first fully organic state in India…Bee populations are said to be rebounding, with plants dependent on bee pollination like cardamom providing much higher yields. Tourism to the region has also increased nearly 70% since the state went organic…and soil health has rebounded tremendously, as is usually the case when organic methods are applied.”

“Inherently neurotoxic to humans, organophosphate pesticides (such as chlorpyrifos) pose a risk to children’s neurodevelopment and normal neurological function.”
Over 16 million pounds of organophosphate pesticides are used in the US every year.
How the EPA Fails to Protect Us from Toxic Pesticides & Chemicals
“In the last three decades that I have worked at EPA it has been very rare for a toxic pesticide to be taken off the market,” she told Fault Lines. “Just about every new pesticide application that is submitted to the agency is approved, no matter how high the risk.”
“The American Farm Bureau Federation, one of the most powerful interest groups in Washington, D.C., claims to be the "voice of farmers." In fact, they lobby for corporate agribusiness and speak on behalf of a membership base comprised not of farmers, but of insurance industry affiliates.”
“In 2014, the agricultural input industry alone spent $30 million on lobbying. Monsanto and Biotechnology Industry Organization spent over $12 million combined.”
The American Chemistry Council (ACC) is a petrochemical lobbying group with an annual budget of over $100 million with board members from Dow, DuPont, Marathon Petroleum, and ExxonMobil. The ACC spent $23 million in federal lobbying in 2013-14.
“The ACC has too often worked to obstruct such regulation, following a pattern modeled by the tobacco industry: deny the science, bring in its own experts to counter the evidence, launch misleading advertising campaigns, and pressure decision makers to abandon restrictions on the chemical's use.”

Nontoxic Bug Control & Repellents
A few ideas to 🐝Bee 🌼🐝🌼🦋Pesticide Free. Protect you💝👦🐾. To keep spiders, ants... at bay & make your house smell amazing, use 🍊 on countertops.
😊In the back of cabinets... cinnamon sticks or a bottle of cinnamon (lid off). (Or bay leaves 🍃)
😊Closets... cedar blocks, cedar..., peppermint oil directly or cloth pouches or sachets...
😊Corners... peppermint oil or pouches of citronella, lemon grass, rosemary. Block & seal crevices & cracks. Also check door and windows seals, make sure they are tight
🌱🪴Outside, plant mint, lavender, rosemary... in the areas spiders may enter.
😊Spiders are 🐦bird food and essential a part of the food web of life, spiders eat bugs & other spiders.
😊To catch and release a spider, place a glass bowl over the spider and slide a piece of paper carefully underneath the bowl to capture the spider and then place the spider safely outside away from the house.
😊You can also purchase a special tool, a tiny spider vacuum, that supposedly will not harm the spider then place the spider outside.
💝😊🌼And, of course keep kids and 🐾 away from all repellents and tools.
🌼Here are ten plants that are commonly recognized for their mosquito-repellent qualities:
Citronella: Renowned for its strong mosquito-repellent scent. You can crush the leaves to release the fragrance or use citronella oil derived from the plant.
Lavender: Repels mosquitoes due to its floral scent. It also has a calming effect and can enhance relaxation.
Marigold: Contain a natural compound called pyrethrum which is often used in insect repellents. They have a distinct scent that repels mosquitoes and other pests.
Basil: The strong aroma of basil repels mosquitoes and can be planted in pots or garden beds.
Catnip: A member of the mint family, it contains a compound called nepetalactone which is highly effective in repelling mosquitoes. However, be aware that it may attract cats.
Peppermint: Its refreshing scent repels mosquitoes. Crush the leaves to release the fragrance or use peppermint oil diluted in water as a natural spray.
Rosemary: This aromatic herb has mosquito-repellent properties. It emits a strong fragrance that deters mosquitoes and can be grown in pots or in the garden.
Lemon balm: In the mint family, its strong lemon fragrance repels mosquitoes. Crush the leaves to release the scent or use lemon balm oil.
Geranium: Certain varieties of geraniums, such as the lemon-scented geranium have mosquito-repellent properties.
Lemon thyme: This fragrant herb has a citrus aroma. It not only repels mosquitoes but can also be used for cooking.

What are pesticides?
Any chemical intended to destroy a “pest”. They are poisons and hurt much more than just “pests”. We can come in contact with them every day, from the grass we walk on to the food we eat. This constant contact can cause a number of health effects. Pesticides are linked to a range of serious illnesses and diseases from lung problems to cancer.
Common Pesticides
Herbicides (plants/weeds)
Atrazine - one of the most widely used herbicides in the U.S., it is found in 94% of U.S drinking water tested by the USDA - more often than any other pesticide. It is linked to a number of serious health effects including cancer and reproduction issues like low fertility. It has been banned or is being phased out in more than 44 countries. In 2016, the state of California listed atrazine as substance known to cause reproductive toxicity.
Glyphosate - main ingredient in RoundUp. There are over 750 products containing glyphosate. Glyphosate is the most widely used agricultural pesticide worldwide. US farms alone use 300 million pounds of glyphosate per year. Declared by state of California as a carcinogen in 2017. Also linked to endocrine disruption and reproductive effects.
Dicamba -first used in 1967. Linked to developmental and reproductive issues and DNA damage. 5.6 million pounds of dicamba are used annually in the US, with almost 5 million pounds used on corn.
2,4-D - used since 1945. It is the most commonly used pesticide in the non-agricultural market and the 6th most common in agriculture with over 40 million pounds being used in the US annually. Linked to cancer, endocrine disruption, reproductive and neurotoxicity, kidney/liver damage and toxicity to dogs, fish, birds and insects.
Insecticides (insects)
Neonicotinoids - this class of neurotoxic insecticide is the most widely used insecticides in the world. Linked to widespread deaths of pollinators and damage to water life. The 3 most common neonicotinoids are imidacloprid, clothianidin and thiamethoxam.
Chlorpyrifos - an organophosphate insecticide, it was introduced by Dow in 1965. It is the most widely used insecticide on crops, especially for corn, soybeans, broccoli, and apples. Also widely used in non-agricultural settings, like golf courses. Linked to neurological issues in children. For more information, please click Chlorpyrifos: The toxic pesticide harming our children and environment.
Other Pesticide Types
Rodenticides - rodents (rats and mice)
Bactericides - bacteria
Fungicides - fungi
Larvicides - larvae
How Are Pesticide Applied
Fumigation - a pesticide as a gas which completely fill an area. Often used with tarps to treat soil for fungus or a home for termites. The gas can lean out and poison nearby people and animals.
Seed coating - seeds are covered with pesticide before they are planted. The pesticide hurts health by getting into the soil and nearby water sources.
Granules - a pesticide as dried bits which release poison when they get wet. The pesticide hurts health by getting into the soil and nearby water sources.
Spraying - pesticides are sprayed as a liquid from tractors, planes or handheld equipment. Most of the pesticide misses the pest, drifting or evaporating into the air. It also gets into the soil and water, exposing people, animals and insects.
