California Bans Pesticide Linked to Brain Damage

Environmental officials in the state of California have taken another step to protect children from potential brain damage.

A widely used agricultural pesticide will be banned after next year following an agreement reached with the manufacturer.

California sales of chlorpyrifos will end on February 6, 2020, and farmers will have until the end of 2020 to stop using what they have left in stock.
