Article Abstract:

Addressing public concerns over biotechnology and children's health would figure prominently on the American Crop Protection Assn's (ACPA) proposed action plan. ACPA Pres Jay Vroom said the association is considering ways to ensure that it would have a strong position at the beginning of a new US presidency. On the other hand, Angelina Duggan, ACPA's director of science policy, said the organization will continue to challenge EPA's interpretation of the Food Quality Protection Act, particularly those concerning exposure estimates to sensitive populations such as children.
