The EPA is seeking public comment on draft human health and ecological risk assessments for paraquat, a herbicide used in agricultural and commercial settings. The draft risk assessments are the product of an evaluation of available data on the health and environmental impacts associated with the pesticide. These draft risk assessments are the next step in the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act registration review process and are not a denial or an approval of the herbicide. Public comments will be accepted until Dec. 16, 2019.
