U.S. Environmental Protection Agency conducts ecological risk assessments to determine the ecological effects or toxicity of a pesticide and its breakdown products to various terrestrial and aquatic animals and plants and the chemical fate and transport of a pesticide in soil, air, and water resources. Environmental laws will not be effective unless facilities comply. Pesticides are regulated under several laws, primarily the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act which authorizes EPA to oversee the registration, distribution, sale, and use of pesticides.
