Chlorpyrifos Was Invented by the Nazis as a Nerve Agent
Mostly false. Chlorpyrifos is a specific chemical that belongs to a broader class of chemicals called organophosphates. While the Nazis were at the forefront of developing this broader class as both weapons and insecticides, they can not be credited with inventing chlorpyrifos specifically.
One of the actions resulting from this review was a 2000 ban on chlorpyrifos for nearly all residential and indoor uses:
Following this ruling, the EPA additionally ruled that chlorpyrifos would remain classified as safe for use in other agricultural andindustrial settings. This latter ruling resulted in a September 2007 petition to the EPA filed by the Pesticide Action Network of North America and the Natural Resources Defense Council, both of which jointly requested that the agency ban the pesticide or issue final rulings on their acceptable levels (legally termed “tolerances”) in food.
In September 2015, the Ninth Circuit court of appeals mandatedthat the EPA respond to this petition by either banning the chemical completely or issuing final rulings on tolerances of the chemical’s residue on food products by October 31, 2015.
Following this court order, the EPA conducted a lengthy review and delivered a proposal on 6 November 2015, which suggested — as requested by the petition — that all currently published tolerances regarding chlorpyrifos residue on food should be revoked
NOTE THE YEARS IN THE ABOVE PARAGRAPHS!
As a result of Trump and Pruitt’s actions, chlorpyrifos will continue to be allowed to be sprayed on food items, but it should be noted that this represents no change in current policy; it merely blocks what would likely have been the implementation of a change that would have otherwise taken effect in March 2017.

Seems to me that the November 2015 review suggested that all PUBLISHED tolerances .....shoud be revoked.
