📌 Summary: 美國環保署（EPA）於2024年10月22日宣佈禁止使用被證明對未出生嬰兒有害的除草劑二甲基四氯苯酞（DCPA或Dacthal），以保護孕婦及其未出生的孩子。此決定基於大量科學證據，顯示DCPA對胎兒的發育可能造成不可逆轉的損害，包括影響甲狀腺功能及後遺症，並可能導致低出生體重、智力減退及運動能力障礙等問題。EPA的行動經過多年研究及針對DCPA健康風險的逐步限制，並最終由DCPA的唯一製造商主動提出關閉產品註冊。
🎯 Key Points:
- EPA禁止DCPA的使用，旨在保護孕婦及未出生嬰兒。
- 科學研究已表明DCPA與胎兒甲狀腺激素變化有關，可能造成低出生體重和智力發展受損。
- DCPA主要用於農業及運動場地的除草。
- EPA在今年4月和8月發出警告，指出此除草劑對農工及公共健康的嚴重風險，並採取緊急停止措施。
- DCPA的唯一製造商AMVAC化學公司自願取消相關產品的銷售及國際註冊。

Mily Treviño Sauceda, Alianza Nacional de Campesinas, aka the National #Farmworkers #Women’s Alliance exec dir, praised the #EPA’s action.
“As an organization led by farmworker women, we know intimately the harm that #pesticides, including… #DCPA or #Dacthal, can inflict on our bodies & communities….This #emergency decision is a great first step that we hope will be in a series of others that are based on listening to farmworkers, protecting our #ReproductiveHealth, & safeguarding our families.” -

But in a March letter to #AMVAC, #EPA ofcls wrote that this voluntary step was not sufficient to protect #farmworkers & others exposed to the #herbicide. The ofcls wrote that changes to #thyroid hormone levels in the #fetuses of #pregnant rats exposed to #DCPA suggested “serious #risks of concern in #humans.” …The #EmergencyAction order Tues suspends all registrations of the #pesticide….

“It’s #EPA’s job to protect people from exposure to #dangerous #chemicals. In this case, #pregnant women who may never even know they were exposed could give #birth to #babies that experience #irreversible lifelong #health problems.”
The sole manufacturer of the #pesticide, #AMVAC, had sought to avoid the #emergency action. The co had voluntarily pulled all #DCPA products used on turf, reducing the risks to golfers, athletes & workers who maintain turf.

When #pregnant #farmworkers & others are exposed to the #pesticide, their #babies can experience changes to fetal #thyroid hormone levels, which are linked to low #birth weight, impaired #brain development, decreased #IQ & #impaired #MotorSkills later in life.
“#DCPA is so dangerous that it needs to be removed from the market immediately,” Michal Freedhoff, asst admin for the #EPA’s Office of #Chemical Safety & #Pollution Prevention, said. -
