federal insecticide, fungicide, and rodenticide act

What Types of Toxicological Data are Required?

FIFRA requires comprehensive toxicological testing, including studies on acute toxicity, which assesses the harmful effects of a single exposure. Subchronic toxicity tests evaluate effects from repeated exposure over a short period, while chronic toxicity tests determine the effects of long-term exposure. Additionally, data on carcinogenicity, developmental toxicity, and reproductive toxicity are often required to fully understand the risks associated with pesticide use.
