If the same science is available on both sides of the Atlantic, why would Europe choose to ban the use of atrazine while the US has not? On this call we explored this question with speakers from both Europe and the US. We discussed the findings of the Agricultural Health Study recently conducted by NIH and the EPA, looked closer at the scientific literature addressing atrazine and the implications for human health, particularly reproductive health impacts. The call concluded with a conversation with colleagues from the Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) about the EU's choice to ban atrazine.

Featured speakers included:

• Jane Hoppin, ScD, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Chronic Disease Epidemiology Group
• Jason Rohr, PhD, Assistant Professor, University of South Florida
• Lisette van Vliet, Toxics Policy Advisor, Health and Environment Alliance
• Tyrone Hayes, Associate Professor of Integrative Biology, University of California Berkeley

The call was moderated by Steve Heilig.
