Pesticide News Story: Looking for Information on Pesticide Tolerances? Use EPA’s Updated Online Tool
For Release: October 20, 2010
EPA has updated an online tool that allows users to easily search for pesticide tolerance information on food and feed commodities. Users can now locate the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) section numbers (for example 180.220 for atrazine) to determine whether a pesticide ingredient has a permanent tolerance or exemption from the requirement of a tolerance by the pesticide common name (e.g., dicamba, thidiazuron) or by pesticide type and family (e.g., acaricide, carbamate family). The index contains the following information for each chemical:
- 40 CFR part 180 section
- Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) registry number and name
- Pesticide type and family
- EPA pesticide chemical (PC) code
- Tolerance-specific information about pesticide chemicals and crop groups by commodity, crop group, or crop subgroup
This new tool can be found at https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-tolerances/indexes-part-180-tolerance-information-pesticide-chemicals-food-and-feed and will be updated yearly.
