Tell the EPA: Don't allow this toxic pesticide in our food

Re: Docket EPA-HQ-OPP-2021-0290

Research shows that chlormequat chloride disrupts fetal growth and harms the reproductive system. We shouldn't allow its use on food crops unless and until it's proven completely safe -- especially since we know we can farm without it. Chlormequat's approval won't save crops from death or disease. All this chemical is used for is to make the stems of small grains a little bit stronger, so fewer of them bend or break. A slightly bigger harvest isn't worth the risk to our health. I strongly urge you to not approve chlormequat chloride for use on food crops unless and until it's proven completely safe.
