CRE, Farmers
File Joint Data Quality Act Petition on Atrazine
The Kansas Corn Growers Association and the Triazine Network joined
CRE in filing a joint Data Quality Act Petition requesting corrections
to influential information in EPA's Final Registration Eligibility
Science Chapter for Atrazine: Environmental Fate and Effects Chapter
(April 22, 2002). The Petition, filed November 25, 2002, requests
correction of those parts of EPA's Environmental Risk Assessment
stating that the herbicide atrazine causes endocrine effects in
the environment. EPA's statements do not meet the Data Quality Act's
reliability, reproducibility and utility standards because there
are no validated tests for determining whether atrazine causes environmental
endocrine effects.
