評(píng)估結(jié)果表明,，毒死蜱農(nóng)藥產(chǎn)品對(duì)操作人員構(gòu)成一定的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。美國環(huán)保署認(rèn)為，有必要限制毒死蜱的使用以保護(hù)使用或在毒死蜱處理過的區(qū)域附近工作的人員,，以及保護(hù)飲用水源,。美國環(huán)保署將制定減少此類風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的措施。
部分原文報(bào)道如下：
WASHINGTON -Today, EPA is releasing an assessment for public comment on the potential for human health risk of the pesticide chlorpyrifos.
This assessment shows some risks to workers who mix, load and apply chlorpyrifos pesticide products. When used in large amounts, chlorpyrifos has the potential to pose risks in limited geographic areas when drinking water from small watersheds. There were no additional risks from pesticide exposures in food or exposures to bystanders and workers from airborne chlorpyrifos. The latest USDA pesticide residue data show no concerns for chlorpyrifos in food, with the pesticide detected in less than 1% of samples.
