EU-approved pesticide fluazinam linked to brain development risks

Original: EU-approved pesticide found to have potential effects on brain development

A new study raises concerns that fluazinam, a fungicide currently approved for use in the EU, may affect brain development. The findings contradict an earlier assessment based on data supplied by the pesticide's manufacturer, renewing debate over how regulatory safety reviews are conducted and whether industry-backed evidence can be trusted.

Why now: The study contradicts the manufacturer-funded assessment underpinning the EU's approval, raising fresh concerns about pesticide safety and regulation.
