EPA has assessed the human health and environmental risks of the pesticides most commonly used in misting systems. Most of these products last for only short periods in the environment, so long-term exposure to humans is not expected. Based on its assessment, using toxicity data and exposure estimates, EPA does not expect risks of concern to humans when these pesticides are used in outdoor residential systems according to label instructions specific for use in these systems. No pesticide should be regarded as 100% risk free.
