Description
A French doctor warns that a banned pesticide recently reapproved under the so-called "Duplomb law" could pose serious health risks. Dr Pierre-Michel Perinaud, a GP and president of the Alerte des Medecins network, says studies point to possible links with developmental issues in children and hormone disruption. Acetamiprid -- a chemical known to be toxic to pollinators such as bees and to ecosystems -- had been banned in France since 2018, but remains legal within the European Union. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
