Organophosphates are a class of pesticides commonly used on food crops, and in homes and gardens.
The Agency is considering the availability of alternatives as part of its FQPA review. The Agency is seeking comment on these and nine other organophosphates as part of a review of pesticides under the Food Quality Protection Act. Organophosphates are a class of pesticides consisting of about 40 chemicals that can be found in a wide range of agricultural, and home and garden pesticide products. The risk assessments that EPA is making available are preliminary and may be refined in the future if additional health and environmental effects data, use data or other relevant information on the pesticides become available. Comments will be accepted on these seven organophosphates for 60 days.
