Clorpirifos: Informes por países

Chlorpyrifos is a highly hazardous pesticide that has been banned in several countries but remains widely used around the world. Chlorpyrifos is known to cause damage to the brain, with impacts especialy harmful for children’s developing intellectual capacity. Public health experts note that exposures are linked to neurodevelopmental harm, including loss of intellectual potential and lifetime productivity, health care costs, and costs associated with care for those with resultant developmentaland learning disabilities. 

In 2022-23, IPEN members documented production, import, and use of chlorpyrifos in their countries, to advocate forn national and global restrictions. Advocacy by IPEN, Pesticide Action Network, and a broad coalition of civil society organizations helped win a global victory in 2025, when the Stockholm Convenion added chlorpyrifos to its list of globally banned substances.
