Tools for this Unit:

Governmental Sources for Pesticide Data

These sources contain data that I plan to make accessible/available to students. They are described in more detail in the Strategies section of this unit.

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). http://www.gpoaccess.gov/CFR/INDEX.HTML

To find tolerances for pesticides used for foods, click Browse and/or search the CFR: Title 40-Protection of the Environment, then Part 180. Part #180.342 is Chlorpyrifos, but data for comparisons of other pesticides is available, also.
