Because pesticides are toxic, they are potentially hazardous to humans, animals, other organisms, and the environment. Therefore, people who use pesticides or regularly come in contact with them must understand the relative toxicity and potential health effects of the products they use.
EPA assesses the cancer risk associated with exposure to the pesticide in food over the course of a person's lifetime. EPA then determines whether that cancer risk can be considered negligible. In general, EPA will grant a tolerance and register any pesticide that poses a negligible or no-cancer risk. The notion of negligible risk is an attempt to set a standard below which the cancer risk is so small that there is no cause for worry from a regulatory or public health perspective. EPA's pesticide program defines a negligible risk a one-in-a-million or less chance of getting cancer as a direct result of a lifetime of exposure to a particular substance.
