the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to deny a request from Dow
AgroSciences for a permit allowing it to release large amounts of
sulfuryl fluoride onto farm fields in four states. The chemical is a
toxic pesticide whose global warming effects are thousands of times
stronger than carbon dioxide.
