Pesticide Tolerance; Exemptions, Petitions, Revocations, etc.: Residues of Pesticide Chemicals in or on Various Commodities—February 2026

An anonymous Florida resident expresses support for the public health goals of mosquito control but opposes the requested blanket tolerance for wide-area mosquito adulticide. The commenter requests that the EPA impose specific drift and exposure mitigation measures, such as buffer zones and restricted application timing, due to ecological risks to pollinators and aquatic life.

Silvio Mazzella Jr. provides a series of scientific observations and research citations regarding the potential neurotoxic, endocrine-disrupting, and ecotoxicological effects of specific pesticides like fenpropathrin, famoxadone, and cymoxanil. The commenter expresses concerns about human health impacts (particularly on children) and environmental risks without explicitly requesting a specific regulatory change to the proposed action.

The commenter opposes the proposed pesticide petitions and exemptions, arguing that the EPA should strictly follow its mandate to protect the environment and public health. They express concerns about government corruption and the potential for loopholes to harm the environment.
