Pesticide Spray and Dust Drift
Resources Current as of: November 2009

The drift of spray and dust from pesticide applications can expose people,
wildlife, and the environment to pesticide residues that can cause health
and environmental effects and property damage. For these reasons, and
because EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) is responsible for
regulating the use of pesticides in the United States, OPP has been actively
engaged in a number of initiatives to help prevent such problems. These
initiatives include:

   - broadening our understanding of the science and predictability of
   pesticide drift based on many new studies,
   - improving the clarity and enforceability of product label use
   directions and drift restrictions,
   - facilitating the use of drift reducing application technologies and
   best management practices to minimize drift, and,
   - promoting applicator education and training programs.

This website provides information on current Agency actions to address
pesticide drift, including the development and release for public comment of
a draft Pesticide Registration (PR) Notice on Pesticide Drift Labeling.
