Office of Pesticide Programs' Aquatic Life Benchmarks

Quick Resources

On this page


Introduction

The aquatic life benchmarks (for freshwater species) provided in the table below are based on toxicity values reviewed by EPA and used in the Agency's most recent risk assessments developed as part of the decision-making process for pesticide registration. The Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) in EPA relies on studies required under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as specified at 40 CFR Part 158, as well as a wide range of environmental laboratory and field studies available in the public scientific literature to assess environmental risk. Each Aquatic Life Benchmark is based on the most sensitive, scientifically acceptable toxicity endpoint available to EPA for a given taxon (for example, freshwater fish) of all scientifically acceptable toxicity data available to EPA. EPA's goal is to add to these benchmarks annually.

Relationship to Ambient Water Quality Criteria

Both OPP and EPA's Office of Water (OW) have responsibilities for evaluating aquatic toxicity data to assess the ecological effects of chemicals in surface water. Effects assessments under both program offices are developed with high quality data pursuant to parallel but somewhat different rigorously peer-reviewed assessment methods.

The table below provides aquatic toxicity benchmarks, a reference for the most recent risk assessment conducted by OPP for each pesticide, and ambient water quality criteria, if available.

Use of Aquatic Life Benchmarks

EPA worked initially with the USGS to identify aquatic ecotoxicity benchmarks values from risk assessments developed by EPA for individual pesticides during the recently completed re-registration program. The Overview Document and ecological risk assessments developed for individual pesticides provide useful information for understanding how these ecotoxicity benchmarks were developed and the uncertainties associated with each benchmark. Comparing a measured concentration of a pesticide in water with an aquatic life benchmark can be helpful in interpreting monitoring data, and to identify and prioritize sites and pesticides that may require further investigation.

These aquatic benchmarks are extracted from the most recent publically available OPP risk assessment for the pesticide and are based on the most sensitive aquatic toxicity data of the distribution for each taxa. Benchmarks, developed for baseline risk assessments, are estimates of the concentrations below which pesticides are not expected to harm aquatic life. OPP may further refine a risk assessment based on the full distribution of toxicity data for a given species, using point estimates, species sensitivity distribution approaches, or probabilistic methods.

OPP and OW are actively working together to harmonize the high quality, peer-reviewed scientific approaches that now underlie both programs. A harmonized approach will result in consistent tools and approaches for all stakeholder communities to use in ensuring the protection of aquatic ecosystems.
