First registered in 1965 and marketed by Dow Chemical Company under the tradenames Dursban and Lorsban, Chlorpyrifos (CAS NO.2921-88-2) was a well known home and garden insecticide, and at one time it was one of the most widely used household pesticides in the US. In 1995, Dow was fined $732,000 for not sending the EPA reports it had received on 249 Dursban poisoning incidents, and in 2003, Dow agreed to pay $2 million - the largest penalty ever in a pesticide case - to the state of New York, in response to a lawsuit filed by the Attorney General to end Dow's illegal advertising of Dursban as "safe". On July 31, 2007, a coalition of farmworker and advocacy groups filed a lawsuit against the EPA seeking to end agricultural use of the chlorpyrifos. The suit claims that the continued use of chlorpyrifos poses an unnecessary risk to farmworkers and their families. In August 2007, Dow's Indian offices were raided by Indian authorities for allegedly bribing officials to allow chlorpyrifos to be sold in the country. In 2008, a federal judge imposed 1000 ft buffer zones around waterways to protect endangered species including salmon. Aerial applications of chlorpyrifos will prohibited within these zones.
