WASHINGTON, D.C. – Attorney General Karl A. Racine, as part of a coalition of six state attorneys General, has filed a motion to intervene in a suit to force the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to effectively ban a toxic pesticide. Chlorpyrifos, which is commonly used on foods that infants, young children, and pregnant women consume, has been shown to negatively affect proper development and functioning of the central nervous system and brain.
