AmericanHort, along with 14 other industry stakeholders, submitted comments to the Assistant Administrator of the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention, Michal Freedhoff, PhD, addressing the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) 2024 Draft Risk Evaluation for Formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is essential in the production of nitrogen fertilizers, such as urea, and is also used to control diseases in bulb production, primarily in the Pacific Northwest. Implementing stricter limits on formaldehyde could potentially disrupt fertilizer and bulb production leading to shortages, increased costs, and risks to global plant production. AmericanHort urges the EPA to carefully consider real-world agricultural impacts to prevent unnecessary economic and production challenges.
