In which year was the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) enacted?

  1. 1940

  2. 1947

  3. 1954

  4. 1965

The correct answer is: 1947

The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) was enacted in 1947. This legislation established a framework for regulating pesticide distribution, sale, and use in the United States. It aimed to ensure that pesticides are safe and effective for consumers while protecting the environment and non-target organisms. FIFRA was a significant step towards the modern regulatory approach to pest control, providing guidelines for the registration of pesticides and requiring that they adhere to certain safety standards before they can be placed on the market. The act has been amended several times to address emerging issues related to pesticide use and to reinforce protections for human health and the environment.
