EPA determines the amounts and conditions under which a pesticide may be used so that it will not pose unreasonable risks to workers or the general population. Failure to comply with the conditions set by EPA could result in a range of harmful effects. For example, 17 of the 37 pesticides commonly used on tobacco in the 1990s belong to three chemical classes that, at high doses, are known to cause adverse human health effects up to and including death ( see table 3 ).
