Block the Registration of Methyl Iodide!

September, 16 2009

California is currently considering registering methyl iodide—a  cancer-causing, highly toxic chemical—for use in agriculture.

We need to prevent the registration of methyl  iodide before it can endanger farmworkers and rural communities!

Methyl iodide would be one of the most dangerous pesticides in use. Farmworkers and rural communities would be at serious risk from methyl iodide exposure.

  • Methyl iodide is used by scientists to induce cancer in laboratory animals. It causes thyroid toxicity, permanent neurological damage, and could be especially damaging to fetuses, pregnant women, the elderly, and the developing brains of children. Methyl iodide also causes fetal deaths in experimental animals.
  • Methyl iodide would be used as a fumigant. Applied as gases, fumigant pesticides frequently drift away from their targets, poison communities and cause long-term health problems.
  • 54 scientists, most members of the National Academy of Sciences and including five Nobel laureates, urged former US EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson not to register methyl iodide as a soil fumigant because of the high risks it poses to human health and the environment.
