Study finds 60% of Australia's top-use pesticides are banned in the EU

Analysis of Australia's highest-volume pesticide use has revealed that the majority of products widely used in Australian agriculture are banned in other parts of the world, according to a new study. Researchers from Griffith's School of Environment and Science analyzed 45 pesticide products used in volumes of more than 100 metric tons per year, identified through the Australian Government's now archived Agricultural Chemical Usage Database.
