The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prepares
a list of banned and severely restricted pesticides list as
part of its participation in an international program known as
the Prior Informed Consent (PIC) procedure.
Banned Pesticides
A "Banned" pesticide is defined as a pesticide for which all
registered uses have been prohibited by final EPA action to
protect human health or the environment. It includes
pesticides that have been refused approval
for first-time use or have been withdrawn
by industry. See the back of this factsheet
for a list of pesticides that have been
banned in the United States.
Severely Restricted Pesticides
A "Severely Restricted" pesticide means a pesticide for
which virtually all registered uses have been prohibited by
final EPA regulatory action, but for which certain specific
registered use or uses remain authorized.
U.S. Severely Restricted Pesticides
arsenic trioxide
lindane
carbofuran (granular only)
pentachlorophenol
