Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The EPA has the authority to cancel the registration of a previously registered pesticide if it finds that its use would cause unreasonable adverse effects on the environment. This is stated in the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Choice A is incorrect because the Toxic Substances Control Act regulates the manufacture, importation, processing, and distribution of substances that pose an unreasonable risk to human health or the environment, but it does not necessarily prohibit their manufacture or sale. Choice B is also incorrect because all pesticides, including those that are nontoxic, must be registered with the EPA before they can be sold or distributed in the United States. Choice D is incorrect because FIFRA regulates the production, distribution, and use of pesticides, including regulations for their safe use and disposal.
