Abstract

Paper discusses how under Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) the EPA has the authority and responsibility to determine whether the benefits of pesticidal products developed using nanotechnology outweigh any risks and to determine the conditions under which a nanopesticide may be registered so as to limit potential risk.
