Query: What is a measure of pesticides determined in EPA studies?
Context: In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for regulating pesticides under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA).

The EPA regulates pesticides to ensure that these products do not pose adverse effects to humans or the environment.
