EPA review far from over

Article Abstract:

The EPA is expected to focus its attention on the organophosphate Orthene insecticide soon. Orthene is used on cotton but has to go through a lot of tolerance reassessments under the Food Quality Protection Act. The federal agency is concerned about the high rates of use of Orthene in Arizona and California, about one pound per acre. The EPA has to conduct a risk/benefit analysis since worker safety issues are dealt with under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act.
