Protecting People From Pesticides

Earthjustice, on behalf of farmworker, public health, and environmental organizations, submitted comments in response to EPA's proposed interim registration review decision for chlorpyrifos and opens a 60-day public comment period on the proposed interim decision, revised draft human health risk assessment and ecological risk assessment for chlorpyrifos. EPA is conducting its registration review of chlorpyrifos pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) that requires that the registrations of pesticides are to be reviewed every 15 years.
