Description: Ban the Toxic 12 - now We have identified the 12 most toxic chemicals still authorised in the EU. They should not be in our food and fields. They can either cause cancer, heart disease, lead to birth defects, seriously harm the environment or a combination of these. The EU has a regulation to substitute the most dangerous chemicals by less toxic alternatives. The EU Commission
Ban Toxic 12
Since 2011, the most toxic pesticides to human health, wildlife and the environment are subject to very strict rules , to be quickly banned from EU fields and from consumers’ plates.
Among other things, these pesticides can alter the reproductive system, cause hormonal disruptions resulting in various cancers, developmental disorders and/or cardiovascular problems. Some are more toxic to wildlife, but most combine several of these adverse effects.
