The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced the availability of work plans and review case dockets for the chemical DEET. They have opened a 60-day period for the public to comment on these materials. This is part of their regular process of reviewing pesticide registrations every 15 years. The public can submit feedback and the EPA encourages everyone, especially those who may face unique environmental impacts, to share their thoughts.
Simple Explanation
The EPA wants people to share their thoughts on how they check if a bug spray ingredient called DEET is okay to use. They are asking everyone, especially those who might be affected by it, to tell them what they think for the next two months.
