The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed a phase-out of fluoride-based pesticides following an eight-year legal and advocacy effort by the Fluoride Action Network. Dr. Paul Conant explains that sulfuryl fluoride, used to fumigate food warehouses and processing plants, has contributed to children exceeding safe reference doses for fluoride exposure. The victory follows threats of litigation against the EPA regarding its accommodation of Dow AgroSciences.
