EPA Proposes to Revoke Tolerance Exemption for Phenol Residues in Pesticide Formulations
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to revoke the tolerance exemption for residues of phenol, an antimicrobial pesticide ingredient, when used as a solvent in pesticide formulations applied to growing crops. This move is based on a review of phenol's registration under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
