A new study reportedly links the fungicide fluazinam, still approved for use in the EU and legal in the UK until 2029, to brain damage, with researchers saying it shrinks brain tissue. Campaigners, including palm oil watchdogs, are calling on regulators to ban the chemical immediately, arguing that continued legality puts children's health at risk.
Why now: A newly published study raising safety concerns about a pesticide that remains legally approved has prompted calls for a ban.
