Center Resources

While this virtual resource room concentrates on non-target injury, the Center has existing resources elsewhere on our website addressing some pesticides and herbicides generally. We maintain issue trackers where we compile federal and state regulatory actions and litigation addressing the use of dicamba, glyphosate, and chlorpyrifos. For specific legal resources regarding liability for non-target injury, including property damage from dicamba and human exposure to glyphosate, please refer to the litigation sections of the dicamba and glyphosate issue trackers.
