Pesticide News Story: EPA Launches New and Improved Tolerance Search Capability on the Web
For Release: October 30, 2009
EPA has launched a new Web page that enhances and replaces the Agency’s current search feature for finding tolerance information. The Tolerance Information for Pesticide Chemicals in Food and Feed Commodities explains how to find specific tolerance information by commodity, crop group, crop subgroup, pesticide common name, and pesticide types and families. This new Web page will allow stakeholders and EPA staff to access detailed tolerance information published in the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR Part 180). Tolerances are the maximum amount of pesticide residue allowed by regulatory agencies to remain in or on a harvested crop in the USA.
