Environmental hazards include problems like water source contamination, or “disruption of ecosystem functions” like pollination. However, they have never produced a list of HHPs. To fill this gap Pesticide Action Network International produces the only consolidated list, which is based on classifications made by the WHO, the European Chemicals Agency, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, and the US EPA.</a><a class="fl" href="https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:0k-4966mYsJ:https://cen.acs.org/articles/95/web/2017/03/FMC-buy-DuPonts-pesticide-business.html+&cd=5&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:0k-4966mYsJ:https://cen.acs.org/articles/95/web/2017/03/FMC-buy-DuPonts-pesticide-business.html%2B%26cd%3D5%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwjrnqnIjPrnAhVOEawKHWHLBQ0QIDAEegQIBhAG" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;">

In the movie FMC was fictionalized as A.O.C corporation. Bean also manufactured fire fighting equipment in the 1960s through the 1980s under the FMC and the Bean names.In 1928, Bean Spray Pump purchased two companies: the Anderson-Barngrover Co. and Sprague-Sells Co. The Anderson-Barngrover Co. manufactured a sealed can rotary pressure sterilizer<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FMC_Corporation#cite_note-7" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[7]</a> and the Sprague-Sells Co. manufactured canning machinery. At this time the company changed its name to Food Machinery Corporation, and began using the initials FMC.FMC also produced <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_apparatus" title="Fire apparatus" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">fire truck</a> fire pumps and pumper bodies, and had an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_equipment_manufacturer" title="Original equipment manufacturer" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">OEM</a> arrangement with LTI (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_LaFrance" title="American LaFrance" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Ladder Towers Inc.</a>) to market aerial ladders. In the early 1980s the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_apparatus" title="Fire apparatus" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Fire apparatus</a> division of FMC tried to expand its role in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_apparatus#Aerial_apparatus" title="Fire apparatus" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">aerial ladders</a> on fire trucks, leveraging the Link-Belt crane division. FMC was ultimately unsuccessful in its expansion into production of aerial ladders.
