Summary

The purpose of this Re-evaluation Decision Document (RRD) is to notify registrants, pesticide regulatory officials and the Canadian public that the re-evaluation of the human health risk assessment of atrazine is now complete. The full environmental assessment of atrazine will be communicated in a future document.

Based on a review of the available information, the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has determined that all uses of atrazine and its end-use products do not entail an unacceptable risk to human health, provided that the proposed mitigation measures are implemented.

This Re-evaluation Decision Document contains comments made to the PMRA in response to the Proposed Acceptability for Continuing Registration document PACR2003-13, Re-evaluation of Atrazine, published on 19 November 2003, the PMRA's responses to the comments and the regulatory decisions resulting from the re-evaluation of atrazine.
