to be derived from use. Specifically, the Agency has considered the
nature of the chemical and its pattern of use, application methods and
rates, and level and extent of potential exposure. Based on these
reviews, the Agency was able to make basic health and safety

used in accordance with widespread and commonly recognized practice,
will not generally cause unreasonable adverse effects to human health
or to the environment.
