Conclusions

Considerable population-level and micro-level data are now available regarding domestic and agricultural exposures to 2,4-D as measured by urinary 2,4-D excretion. These data suggest that current usage patterns and risk management efforts by industry and government are likely keeping average exposure to 2,4-D for the general population and in farm family members, and likely other persons potentially exposed due to proximity during usage of this herbicide, to levels well below current non-cancer reference values established both by the U.S. EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs and by Canada’s PMRA.
