EPA is evaluating 5 toxic fumigants for re-registration: methyl bromide, metam sodium, chloropicrin, dazomet, and Telone. Also, EPA is evaluating
methyl iodide, a carcinogen, that could replace methyl bromide. These
fumigants are hurting farmworkers and nearby communities across the United States. We are asking EPA to initiate a phase out of fumigants, to support farmers to transition to less toxic pest management methods, and to enact mitigation measures to protect the public in the interim period to the phase-out.
