In an 30 October 2015 statement Dow AgroSciences disagreed with the EPA's proposed revocation and "remain confident that authorized uses of chlorpyrifos products, as directed, offer wide margins of protection for human health and safety." In a November 2016 press release, DOW argued that chlorpyrifos was "a critical tool for growers of more than 50 different types of crops in the United States" with limited or no viable alternatives." The "Environment News Service" quoted the Dow AgroSciences' statement disagreeing with the EPA findings.
