| Abstract/Contents: | "2,4-D is a simple organic acid that is used as a selective, broad leaf, weed and plant control agent. In response to the National Cancer Institute studies, the Swedish studies and lingering suspicions regarding Agent Orange, the EPA announced in 1992 its intention to establish a panel to review all of the available scientific data on the safety of 2,4-D. That panel was convened in the fall of 1992. The outcome of that panel's work was the establishment of new labeling standards for the use of 2,4-D products that were introduced in the spring of 1993 for farm, nursery and forestry workers. The new standards go into effect in April of 1994 and will require that workers exposed to the phenoxy herbicides use good protection practices with appropriate protective devices and that reentry periods be established for sprayed areas. The current worker protection regulations explicitly exempt most turfgrass management users of 2,4-D from complying with the new standards." |
