Sources: Unearthed/Public Eye analysis of 2018 export notifications received from European Chemicals Agency or French/German/Belgian regulators. Only pesticides banned as “plant protection products” and identified as exported for crop protection are included here. In most cases, figures used here are for mixtures containing banned chemicals, not the banned chemicals alone. Figures given in export notifications are estimates issued before the first annual export takes place. Some states and companies indicated that actual volumes shipped were lower or higher than planned, or that certain exports did not ultimately take place that year. Most declined to provide full data, citing con-fidentiality concerns.
