The Adequacy of FIFRA to Regulate Nanotechnology-Based Pesticides

Abstract:
The American Bar Association's (ABA) Section of Environment, Energy, and Resources has released a report that says the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) gives the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) "considerable authority ... to prohibit, condition, or allow the manufacture and use of nanopesticides".
