WASHINGTON – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced Aug. 6 the emergency suspension of all registrations of the pesticide dimethyl tetrachloroterephthalate (DCPA or Dacthal) under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act. This is the first time in almost 40 years the EPA has taken this type of emergency action, following several years of unprecedented efforts by the Biden-Harris Administration to require the submission of long-overdue data, and then assess and address the risk the pesticide poses.
