EPA
is responsible for regulating the production and use of pesticides
in the U.S. under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA). Starting in 1979, EPA's Pesticide Program has issued
reports that provide economic profile information on the pesticide
producing and pesticide using sectors covered by the FIFRA mandated
regulatory programs. The reports contain contemporary and historical
data estimating the dollar values and quantities of active ingredients
used and sold in the United States.
In addition, the reports include data on imports, exports, firms,
employment, the number of certified applicators, and
the number of pesticides in use. The reports use the best available
information from the public domain and proprietary sources. However,
the numbers in the reports represent approximate values rather than
precise values with known statistical properties.
