Abstract | EPA has assessed the risks of methamidophos and reached an Interim Reregistration Eligibility Decision (IRED) for this organophosphate (OP) pesticide. Although current uses may pose unreasonable adverse effects to human health and the environment, these effects can be mitigated by the measures identified in the Methamidophos IRED. Provided that these risk mitigation measures are adopted, methamidophos' individual, aggregate risks will be within acceptable levels, and the pesticide will be eligible for reregistration once EPA as considered the cumulative risks of the OPs. |
