Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA), enacted on August 3,1996, brought about significant changes in the way in which pesticides are registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). If not implemented properly, the new requirements of FQPA could lead to the removal from the market of a number of beneficial pesticide products and cause substantial disruptions for agriculture in the United States. For many of these products, there is no suitable alternative pest control tool or the substitute pesticide may not be as efficacious or it may be more costly. Ultimately, the potential loss of many existing products could place American farmers at a disadvantage with foreign growers in competing nations who will continue to enjoy access to a variety of effective pesticides in use today. EPA must rely upon the principles of sound science and base its decisions on actual data when making these important FQPA decisions.

This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Impact of the Food Quality Protection Act Implementation on Public Health: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Department Operations, Oversight, Nutrition, and Forestry of the Committee on Agriculture, House of Representatives As Congress developed the legislation, I worked hard to assure that using modern technology the Nation's food supply would be as safe as possible. I also believe that it was our intent, in passing the Food Quality Protection Act, to ensure that American consumers would continue to enjoy tremendous nutritional benefits from an affordable and abundant food supply. I encourage this committee to keep these goals in mind - safety, affordability, and abundance - as you exercise oversight on epa's implementation of the Food Qual ity Protection Act. It is these three issues that have a Member from an urban area - and to be specific, Brooklyn, NY - with no agricultural pro duction, appearing before you today. Our food must be safe, and the Food Quality Protection Act should be implemented in a man ner that avoids the increase in food prices.

Download or read book Regulating Pesticides in Food written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1987-02-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concern about health effects from exposure to pesticides in foods is growing as scientists learn more about the toxic properties of pesticides. The Delaney Clause, a provision of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, prohibits tolerances for any pesticide that causes cancer in test animals or in humans if the pesticide concentrates in processed food or feeds. This volume examines the impacts of the Delaney Clause on agricultural innovation and on the public's dietary exposure to potentially carcinogenic pesticide residues. Four regulatory scenarios are described to illustrate the effects of varying approaches to managing oncogenic pesticide residues in food.

This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was introduced on December 2, 1970 by President Richard Nixon. The agency is charged with protecting human health and the environment, by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress. The EPA's struggle to protect health and the environment is seen through each of its official publications. These publications outline new policies, detail problems with enforcing laws, document the need for new legislation, and describe new tactics to use to solve these issues. This collection of publications ranges from historic documents to reports released in the new millennium, and features works like: Bicycle for a Better Environment, Health Effects of Increasing Sulfur Oxides Emissions Draft, and Women and Environmental Health.
Download or read book Pesticide Residue Regulation written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA) amended the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), governing U.S. registration, sale, and use of pesticide products, and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), under which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets allowable pesticide residue levels for food (tolerances). The FQPA mandates a "reasonable certainty of no harm" from pesticide exposure and requires reevaluation of tolerances against this standard by August 2006. The Act directs EPA to evaluate aggregate exposure risks of individual pesticides and cumulative risks of various pesticides with similar toxic effects. EPA must modify tolerances that are not safe and amend registrations (labels) for the associated pesticides. EPA has reported that it is meeting statutory deadlines, but this claim is disputed by environmental groups. A test case for FQPA implementation is evaluation of risks for organophosphate (OP) insecticides, used on many fruits, vegetables, and grains. EPA already has canceled registrations for some OP uses. EPA has issued a preliminary and a revised cumulative OP risk assessment, and plans to complete evaluation of OP risks in 2003. Agricultural and public health groups have challenged the FQPA implementation pace and process in court. This report will be updated as events warrant.
