EPA proposes tightening restrictions on carbaryl, a pesticide used on various crops and to kill tree-boring beetles. Public comments were due on Feb. 14, 2023 and can be viewed online at regulations.gov (Docket No EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0230). EPA specifically sought feedback on people or groups who “as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human health impacts or environment effects” from exposure to carbaryl, including farm workers.
