What It Actually Does
EPA betrayal results in severely contaminated food supplies
The EPA refused to test his field so the farmer hired out to have it done. The result? The fields contained high levels of thallium, a toxic metal that is the active ingredient in rat poison. It turned out that a nearby factory used the chemical in its production of NutraSweet and flushed the residues down the drain. Thallium was later detected in local supplies of milk at levels more than 11 times above the legal limit for drinking water. When the farmer sued the Federal Government for disaster relief, a judge found that, according to Mother Jones magazine, ‘senior EPA officials took extraordinary steps to quash scientific dissent and any questioning of the EPA’s biosolids program. Why would the EPA fight the truth? Because the recycling of sewage sludge is big business.'”
Lawsuit states: “The EPA is violating federal law”
The EPA is violating federal law by failing to respond to a petition on glyphosate levels in oats that are putting children’s and babies’ health at risk, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday.
The pesticide “paraquat is currently banned in 32 countries, including member states of the European Union… and China. In 2021 the EPA reapproved the pesticide’s registration for another 15 years.” This is a pesticide so poisonous that it scars people’s lungs. Paraquat poisoning has no antidote. It causes severe harms to workers and people living nearby (including Parkinson’s disease, cancer, kidney failure, and liver failure). To fight this immensely egregious betrayal of humanity, a consumer group sued the EPA in 2021, but as of early 2025, the EPA had taken no action.
Neglect to protect waterways from municipal wastewater discharges, from multiple industrial chemicals… from microplastics, “a monumental environmental and health issue with serious consequences”… from pharmaceuticals containing toxic PFAS, and from “plumes of forever chemicals from US military bases” that poison drinking water supplies.
Neglect to address the depletion and pollution of drinking water by factory farms. Stand by while researchers and everyday people report harms from drinking poisoned water contaminated with forever chemicals and weedkiller poisons.
Leave whole cities without support even when there are egregious, public violations of water safety regulations, and neglecting to address and prevent the entirety of the U.S. experiencing “unsafe levels of a cancer-causing chemical contaminating the tap water of more than 200 million Americans in all 50 states.”
Repeatedly betray people, after supposedly having taken care of removing poisons from the water.
Fail to protect clean air, neglecting at least 83 million people known to be breathing “unhealthy air”… displaying such contempt for communities exposed to ‘toxic mountains’ of waste that the EPA must be threatened with legal action, and equally as dismissive of
