II. Did EPA Approve the Application?
The Agency approved the application after considering all required
data on risks associated with the proposed use of chlorfenapyr (4-
bromo-2-(chlorophenyl)-1-(ethoxymethyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrrole-
3-carbonitrile), and information on social, economic, and environmental
benefits to be derived from use. Specifically, the Agency has
considered the nature of the chemical and its pattern of use,
application methods and rates, and level and extent of potential
exposure. Based on these reviews, the Agency was able to make basic
health and safety determinations which show that use of chlorfenapyr
(4-bromo-2-(chlorophenyl)-1-(ethoxymethyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-
pyrrole-3-carbonitrile) when used in accordance with widespread and
commonly recognized practice, will not generally cause unreasonable
adverse effects to the environment.
