Loading ...Natural News) New legislation was recently signed into law by Hawaii Governor David Ige that prohibits the use of pesticides containing a toxic chemical known as chlorpyrifos, which has been shown to lower IQ levels in children.
Senate Bill 3095 is the first of its kind in all 50 states to take direct action against chlorpyrifos, which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned for most household uses in residential areas 18 years ago. It will now be prohibited from commercial use on all of the Hawaiian islands.
