1/7 🧵
There are 37 PFAS #pesticides active substances allowed in the EU. Sales are rising. Deliberate #PFAS spraying, contaminating food, soil and water. Yet, the EU has no intention to ban them.
NEW REPORT with @genefutures: pan-europe.info/press-releases…

2/7 🧵
#PFAS are hazardous pollutants that persist in our environment and our bodies accumulating to levels that can cause diverse adverse effects. Some break down to water polluting #TFA.

3/7 🧵
37 #pesticide active substances approved in Europe are #PFAS. This is 12% of all synthetic substances. #PFAS boost pesticide stability, making them last longer in the #environment.
4/7 🧵
#PFAS #pesticides are directly emitted into the environment. Soil, air & water, including drinking water, are contaminated. PFAS residues build up in crops, leading to PFAS residues in food products.

5/7 🧵
In France, PFAS #pesticide sales have tripled between 2008 & 2021. Flufenacet and Diflufenican from Bayer are the top-selling substances. German data by @BVL_Bund suggests the same dramatic growth. Image
6/7 🧵
Our analysis of the top 10 sold #PFAS pesticides in #France 🇫🇷 shows that PFAS pesticide substances are persistent & toxic but they slip through the cracks of the #pesticide regulation.

7/7 🧵
#Pesticides are not essential to protect crops. The EU has committed to significantly cut its dependency on these synthetic substances in the next few years. Banning #PFAS pesticides is urgent!

1/4 🧵
#Glyphosate re-approval is now before the @EUCourtPress. Our robust scientific & legal analysis exposes serious flaws in the EU’s glyphosate assessment. We won’t stay silent, #publichealth must come first.

2/4 🚜
Despite its link to cancer, reproductive issues, and neurological diseases, #glyphosate got a 10-year extension. This means continued exposure for Europeans, including children to a harmful #pesticide. This must stop. The public deserves better. Image
3/4 🇪🇺
The EU’s risk assessment of #glyphosate is flawed. Critical studies were excluded, and scientific evidence was downplayed. This is a serious violation of the EU's own rules and international protocols. We cannot let this stand. #EnvironmentalJustice Image
