Refined Avian Risk Assessment for Chlorpyrifos in the United States
Chlorpyrifos (O,O-diethyl O-(3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinyl) phosphorothioate; CPY) is a widely used, organophosphorus insecticide that was first registered in the United States in 1965. It is available in flowable and granular formulations under the trademark Lorsban® and is registered in many countries for control of pests in soil or on foliage. Birds are potentially at risk following application of CPY because: (1) they forage in areas that could be treated with the pesticide, and (2) CPY has been shown to be toxic to birds under laboratory conditions when they were exposed to ecologically relevant concentrations in the diet. Here we present a refined assessment of risk to birds from application of granular or flowable formulations of CPY to crops in the United States at rates and frequencies of use approved on the current product labels. This assessment focused on bird species that are known to frequently forage in crop fields treated with CPY.
