"Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt reportedly met Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris in March before his office announced in May the rollback of proposed ban on Chlorpyrifos, a deadly pesticide that is known to affect the central nervous system of infants and newborn babies. Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate made up of white or colorless crystals. It carries the odor of rotten eggs or garlic.

Chlorpyrifos is being used as a pesticide since 1960s, and is typically sprayed on citrus fruits, apples, cherries and other crops. It keeps a variety of pests at bay like termites, mosquitoes, and roundworms. It was also used as a domestic insecticide before Dow Chemical restricted the use to commercial purpose only in 2000 as the federal regulators raised safety concerns.”*
