EPA reentry standards for pesticides debated by cotton council
A Memphis hearing exposes debate over EPA proposed reentry intervals for methyl parathion and other pesticides. Dr. James M. Brown argues a 2 hour interval suffices, while five to seven days would hurt farming and pest control. He cites studies from Arizona and the Mississippi Delta showing rapid pesticide breakdown and safe worker exposure. The Cotton Council stresses safety and regional climate differences, urging science based rules tailored to production areas.
