color:#555555'>The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has
announced a preliminary pollinator risk assessment for the neonicotinoid
insecticide, imidacloprid, which shows a threat to some pollinators.
EPA’s assessment, prepared in collaboration with California’s Department
of Pesticide Regulation, indicates that imidacloprid potentially poses
risk to hives when the pesticide comes in contact with certain crops that
attract pollinators.<br>
<br>
“Delivering on the President’s National Pollinator Strategy means EPA is
committed not only to protecting bees and reversing bee loss, but for the
first time assessing the health of the colony for the neonicotinoid
pesticides,” said Jim Jones Assistant Administrator of the Office of
Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention. “Using science as our guide,
this preliminary assessment reflects our collaboration with the State of
California and Canada to assess the results of the most recent testing
required by EPA.” <br>
<br>
The preliminary risk assessment identified a residue level for
imidacloprid of 25 ppb, which sets a threshold above which effects on
pollinator hives are likely to be seen, and at that level and below which
effects are unlikely. These effects include decreases in pollinators as
well as less honey produced.<br>
<br>
For example, data show that citrus and cotton may have residues of the
pesticide in pollen and nectar above the threshold level. Other crops
such as corn and leafy vegetables either do not produce nectar or have
residues below the threshold. Additional data is being generated on these
and other crops to help EPA evaluate whether imidacloprid poses a risk to
hives. <br>
<br>
The imidacloprid assessment is the first of four preliminary pollinator
risk assessments for the neonicotinoid insecticides. Preliminary
pollinator risk assessments for three other neonicotinoids, clothianidin,
thiamethoxam, and dinotefuran, are scheduled to be released for public
comment in December 2016. <br>
<br>
A preliminary risk assessment of all ecological effects for imidacloprid,
including a revised pollinator assessment and impacts on other species
such as aquatic and terrestrial animals and plants will also be released
in December 2016. <br>
<br>
In addition to working with California, EPA coordinated efforts with
Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency. Canada’s Imidacloprid
pollinator-only assessment – also released today – reaches the same
preliminary conclusions as EPA’s report. <br>
<br>
The 60-day public comment period will begin upon publication in the
Federal Register. After the comment period ends, EPA may revise the
pollinator assessment based on comments received and, if necessary, take
action to reduce risks from the insecticide. <br>
<br>
In 2015, EPA proposed to prohibit the use of pesticides that are toxic to
bees, including the neonicotinoids, when crops are in bloom and bees are
under contract for pollination services. The Agency temporarily halted
the approval of new outdoor neonicotinoid pesticide uses until new bee
data is submitted and pollinator risk assessments are complete.<br>
<br>
EPA encourages stakeholders and interested members of the public to visit
the imidacloprid docket and sign up for email alerts to be automatically
notified when the agency opens the public comment period for the
pollinator-only risk assessment. The risk assessment and other supporting
documents are available in the docket at: <a
