據美國環保署消息，1月5日美國環保署發布通報，就有關農藥毒死蜱對人類健康的潛在風險發布了一項評估，并開始征求意見。
評估結果表明，毒死蜱農藥產品對操作人員構成一定的風險。美國環保署認為，有必要限制毒死蜱的使用以保護使用或在毒死蜱處理過的區域附近工作的人員，以及保護飲用水源。美國環保署將制定減少此類風險的措施。
部分原文報道如下：
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.
