Abstract

Effective in 1996, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) exempted products containing more than 30 pesticidal active ingredients and 160 inert ingredients from FIFRA regulation. The EPA concluded the exemption of these products would not pose unreasonable risks to public health or the environment.
