EPA Denies Exceptions for Hand Harvest of Cantaloupe and Squash in Chlorothalonil-Treated Fields

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has denied the State of Delaware's request to allow hand labor harvesting of cantaloupes and squash 24 hours after chlorothalonil application, citing risks to worker safety. The decision affects multiple states, including Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Virginia, which also had their requests denied due to similar concerns.
