The Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA)
Resources
- August 02, 2006. EPA released its cumulative risk assessment for the organophosphate group of pesticides and opens a public comment period on this document and other support documents. As required by the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA), a cumulative risk assessment, which evaluates exposures based on a common mechanism of toxicity, was conducted to evaluate the risk from food, drinking water, residential, and other non-occupational exposures resulting from registered uses of organophosphate pesticides. According to the report, the Agency concludes that it has thereby completed reassessment of the OP tolerances.
