Overview

• Import, production, sale, use and final disposal of the 35 molecules are prohibited, and federal agencies must revoke related permits and registrations.
• The list includes Aldicarb, Carbofurán, Endosulfán and DDT, chemicals tied by scientific and public‑health sources to acute poisoning, cancer risk and environmental damage.
• The action was coordinated by Health through COFEPRIS, Economy, Environment (SEMARNAT) and Agriculture (SADER) under a unified federal strategy.
• Officials plan a second list in 2026 and a third in 2027, with controlled‑sale systems for substances lacking substitutes and a broader transition extending to 2030.
• The decree aligns policy with the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm conventions and builds on prior curbs such as the endosulfán phase‑out and carbofurán import ban.
