PPDC's Rodenticide Stakeholder Workgroup

The rodenticide workgroup was created to explore and recommend ways to reduce the risk of exposure to rodent control products, especially accidental exposures experienced by young children. Members of the workgroup represent public health and environmental organizations, industry groups, government agencies and the general public. EPA will use the workgroup's recommendations in developing a strategy to reduce the risks of exposure to rodenticides while preserving their public health benefits.

The stakeholder process will consist of a series of public meetings, scheduled for this Spring and Summer, at which options and proposals for reducing risks will be discussed and analyzed. Members of the public are encouraged to attend and provide oral or written statements. For further information contact Michael McDavit at 703-308-0325, or Dennis Deziel at 703-308-8173.
