Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the phasing out of organophosphate pesticides under the Food Quality Protection Act, specifically chlorpyrifos. Also discusses the effect this legislation had on Dow AgroSciences, which manufactures the insecticide chlorpyrifos under the brand name Dursban. Dow AgroScience responded by "announcing the voluntary cancellation of most in-and-around-the-home uses of chlorpyrifos in the U.S. including use of the product as a full-barrier termiticide treatment in existing structures (post-construction)." Lists food, home, and non-residential reassessment uses of Dursban. Analyzes uses of Dursban in the future. |
