FW: Comment for Monday article on pyrethoids
Rene, with apologies for the late response, and for attribution to "an EPA spokesperson," please:
EPA is considering the EWG and other comments that were submitted on EPA's draft human health risk assessments as part of the open comment period for certain pyrethrins and pyrethroids. The pyrethroid class of pesticides is currently being re-evaluated as part of the ongoing registration review program. The comment period closed on November 13, 2017 (see docket EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0039-0083 at www.regulations.gov). EPA is currently assessing the comments received and will determine whether any risk management is needed. Over the course of 2018, the agency expects to release the remaining draft pyrethroid human health risk assessments for public comment. More information about the status of the pyrethroid re-evaluation can be found at: https://www.epa.gOv/ingredients-used-pesticide-products/pvrethrins-and-pvrethroids#reg%20review.
Very best, R.

Hello, Robert
The Food, Environmental, Reporting Network with Mother Jones is set to publish on Tuesday morning (Nov 21) an article about the EWG's letter to the EPA demanding the agency fully consider the risks of low-dose exposures to pyrethroid pesticides during pregnancy and childhood.
EWG charges that "the EPA's draft assessments have omitted the latest studies of American, Canadian, and French children, which indicate these insecticides can impair children's cognition and behavior."
