The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has opened the 60-day public
comment period for its preliminary pollinator risk assessment for
imidacloprid, a neonicotinoid insecticide, in a Federal Register notice
published today. After the comment period ends, the EPA may revise the
pollinator assessment based on comments received and, if necessary, take
action to reduce risks from the insecticide.
The preliminary risk assessment identified a residue level for imidacloprid
of 25 ppb, above which effects on pollinator hives are likely to be seen and
below which effects are unlikely. These effects may include reduction in
numbers of pollinators as well as the amount of honey produced.
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.
A preliminary risk assessment for 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.
EPA encourages stakeholders and interested members of the public to visit
