Join us in our petition to ban Dursban - the most common used pesticide in UK. It is dangerous for our health and the environment. It can cause impaired memory and concentration, severe depression, speech difficulties, delayed reaction times, sleepwalking, insomnia, birth defects and leukemia. Dursban (also known as Chlorpyrifos) residues have been found on UK apples, redcurrants, and plums, and on imported apples, oranges, spinach, grapes, broccoli, pears, kiwi fruit, grapefruit, lemons, raspberries and soft citrus.

Ridiculous that this is still allowed. STOP poisoning the food supply.
