Six Chemicals Newly Listed as Reproductive Toxicants in California

California today named six more chemicals — atrazine, propazine, simazine, des-ethyl atrazine (DEA), des-isopropyl atrazine (DIA) and 2,4-diamino-6-chloro-s-triazine (DACT) — as reproductive toxicants, under the state’s Proposition 65.

The chemicals were supposed to be added to the list in August 2015, but Syngenta Crop Protection sued the state to challenge the chemicals’ listing. Syngenta lost the case and appealed but no stay of the listing was granted.
