INDUSTRY CALLS FOR EPA TO RE-PROPOSE ANTIMICROBIALS DATA RULE

摘要

Some in industry say a proposed EPA rule that requires additional data on the environmental and human health impacts of antimicrobial pesticides needs "considerable" reworking and should be re-proposed, but publicly owned wastewater treatment works (POTW) and anti-pesticide activists are supporting the measure.rnIn a proposed rule, published in the Federal Register last year, EPA says it is considering requiring nine new data requirements for antimicrobial pesticides in an effort to better determine their human health and environmental effects when regulating the products under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide & Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
