PAN Europe and DUH object to 18 month ‘grace’ period for Flufenacet - Banned for its toxicity to children’s development and water pollution

The EU has banned the PFAS pesticide flufenacet because it’s harmful to human health and contaminates groundwater with its breakdown PFAS product, trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), a smaller but still toxic “forever chemical”. Yet, this dangerous pesticide will continue to be used on Europe’s crop fields for up to 18 months, according to the official EU decision. This is the maximum ‘grace’ period possible according to the EU Pesticides law, provided only for pesticides that are banned for reasons other than health or environmental protection. Which is clearly not the case for flufenacet.
