Pesticide registrations cancelled by EPA
The EPA cancelled 23 pesticide registrations for data deficiencies, affecting products for soybeans corn and livestock. The action is a regulatory policing measure, not an assessment of health risk, with illegal interstate sale if unregistered. Examples include chlorobenzene and several acids for crops and animal uses. A note about Great Salt Lake mentions brine shrimp and a tiny grub stage fly.
