Toxic Pesticides
Companies that manufacture, distribute, or derive significant revenue from synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or industrial chemicals with documented ecological or human health harm — includes manufacturers of neonicotinoids, glyphosate, and pesticide formulations containing PFAS. Note: PFAS contamination from non-pesticide products (Teflon, firefighting foam, food packaging) does NOT belong here — that is a harmful products or environmental_damage issue depending on the specific conduct. The test is the product, not incidental chemical use. Distinct from environmental_damage (which covers contamination incidents regardless of product).
