EPA TO REVIEW FUMIGANTS, ATRAZINE SOONER THAN PLANNED

News Date: 06/22/2010

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued an updated registration review schedule, indicating that fumigants and triazines (including atrizine) will begin to be reviewed four years ahead of schedule. EPA says the change in schedule will allow the agency to consider new data on potential environmental and/or health risks associated with the chemicals to address the risks as quickly and effectively as possible.  (By: Jason Markovich, Contact: Nathan Bowen)
