Are There Health Concerns Related to the Use of Chlorpyrifos for Mosquito Control?
The risk assessment carried out during the PMRA’s re-evaluation of chlorpyrifos determined that its use against mosquitoes at the larval and adult life stages will not result in adverse health effects if label directions are carefully followed. The PMRA’s risk assessments incorporate the high standards and rigorous risk approaches required by the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA). The FQPA includes special consideration of risk to sensitive subpopulations such as infants and children.
