"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Thursday backtracked on its suspension of a chemical requirement that aimed to help farmworkers handling toxic pesticides.
The EPA announced an intent to publish in the Federal Register new pesticide safety training materials that are required under the rule.
The policy reverse followed a lawsuit filed by California, Maryland and New York at the end of May that argued that suspending the rule would hurt farm laborers.
An EPA spokesperson said that the agency revised materials under the agency's Agricultural Worker Protection Standard (WPS) to implement more protections from pesticide exposure incidents for agricultural workers, handlers and their families."
