ANCHORAGE, Alaska — An environmental group said Wednesday it plans to sue the federal government to stop approving pesticides that end up in food eaten by polar bears.
The Center for Biological Diversity gave notice that it will sue the Environmental Protection Agency for failing to consider the effects of pesticides on polar bears, a threatened species, and their Arctic habitat.
Pesticides are used minimally in Alaska but reach the Arctic through the atmosphere and the ocean.
