Notice of Additional Mitigation Measures for the Active Ingredient Carbaryl

In June 2014, the Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) issued a risk characterization document (RCD) for the pesticide active ingredient carbaryl. This document can be found on DPR’s Web site. The RCD identified the following exposure scenarios of concern for residential applications:

• Residential and bystander exposure during residential application of home use carbaryl products via dust application equipment (e.g., shaker container);
• Residential adult and toddler exposure via reentry onto turf treated with carbaryl products; and
• Residential toddler exposure via hand-to-mouth transfer, object-to-mouth transfer, and soil ingestion
