Major loss for air cleanliness

Collective lawyers said that, with air pollution cited as a factor in worsening Covid-19 problems, it was irresponsible to allow spraying near to homes. When the hearing started, however, the government withdrew its new limits, citing the end of the lockdown. It said they were no longer needed.

The Conseil d鈥橢tat continued to hear arguments against the 2019 law allowing the use of sprays to within 5m of homes in the case of cereal crops and 10m for high crops, such as vines. Arguments that there was a 鈥渓ink between pesticides and air pollution鈥� and that pollution accentuated people鈥檚 fragility were rejected by the court. It said no decision could be taken on the basis of the arguments for months so there was no urgency to make a change.
