Dow Chemical wants the Trump administration to “set aside” the findings of federal scientists that show a group of widely used pesticides are harmful to nearly 1,800 critically threatened or endangered species, according to a report on Thursday.

Lawyers for Dow, whose CEO Andrew Liveris serves as an adviser to President Trump and which donated $1 million to underwrite inauguration festivities, and two other chemical companies sent letters on April 13 to three cabinet agencies saying the findings are fundamentally flawed, the Associated Press reported.

The studies completed by government scientists and compiled over the past four years show the three pesticides under review — chlorpyrifos, diazinon and malathion — pose a risk to nearly every endangered species they studied, the report said.

The three cabinet agencies, which are partly responsible for enforcing the Endangered Species Act, are expected to issue findings soon that would put new limits and how and where the pesticides can be used.

Last month, Scott Pruitt, director of the Environmental Protection Agency, reversed an Obama-era effort to bar use of the pesticide chlorpyrifos on food after studies revealed that even small levels of exposure could hinder the development of children’s brains.

In a statement, Dow said it asked for the assessment to be withdrawn because its “scientific basis was not reliable.”

FMC Corp., which sells malathion, said more time is needed to compile the “best available” scientific data.

Makhteshim Agan of North America Inc., which makes diazinon, did not respond to requests for comment.

A spokesman for the EPA told the Associated Press that the agency is reviewing petitions, but that Pruitt would not “prejudge” any decisions about impending rules.

The office of Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, which oversees the National Marine Fisheries Service, did not respond to emails.

A spokeswoman for Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, whose department oversees the Fish and Wildlife Service, referred questions to the EPA.

Chlorpyrifos is an agricultural pesticide used for decades on citrus fruits, apples and other crops. Dow sells about 5 million pounds of the chemical each year in the US.

Diazinon, which the Bush administration banned for residential use in 2005 because it poses a human health risk, is still used by farmers who spray it on fruits and vegetables.

Malathion is used to control mosquitoes and fruit flies.
