Default Stop Methyl Iodine In Agriculture

Methyl iodide, approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2007, is dangerously close to being approved as a soil fumigant for strawberry crops in California and spreading as a widely-used pesticide for crops around the country.
Methyl iodide causes cancer, is a known neurotoxin and thyroid disruptor and has also been proven to cause spontaneous abortions in late-term pregnancies. It is so toxic that it is used to intentionally induce cancer cells in lab settings. And yet, the EPA has decided that methyl iodide is fit for our food, for our communities and for our bodies.
The EPA can reverse its decision on methyl iodide at any point. Now is the time to make sure they do so.

Why do you think methyl iodine is dangerous? I think it would be ok to use.

I think the paragraph I posted explains it pretty well. Do a search if you don't believe it.

California is fighting it. I don't think it will fly into the market. It is too expensive for farmers. ...and

Who would want to use it? But best be cautious and work to keep it from being approved.
