Contacting EPA about the Health Effects of Pesticides
EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) works with 10 Regional Offices and other EPA program offices on a wide range of pesticide issues and topics. In OPP, the Health Effects Division (HED) is responsible for reviewing and validating data on properties and effects of pesticides, as well as characterizing and assessing exposure and risks to humans and domestic animals. Unless otherwise noted, contacts are from the Office of Pesticide Programs.
