Stranded pesticides linger, quietly evading regulation and harming an already environmentally burdened community. This Note traces the legal advocacy efforts that culminated in the 2021 chlorpyrifos rule; explores why agricultural workers and their communities remain vulnerable in its wake; discusses how federal pesticides law and policy exacerbates both worker vulnerability and the likelihood of future pesticide “strandings”; and finally, contemplates legal and policy adaptations to mitigate these risks to agricultural workers.
