question 20
which of the following is not true regarding pesticide regulation?
the rotterdam convention requires the us to provide hazardous properties of pesticides prior to exportation.
the fda establishes a tolerance level for pesticides in foods.
the fda enforces pesticide tolerance levels set by the epa.
the epa can destroy crops due to misuse of pesticides.

Explanation:

The Rotterdam Convention is a multilateral environmental agreement. The US has not ratified the Rotterdam Convention, so it is not required to provide hazardous properties of pesticides prior to export as stated in this option. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) does establish tolerance levels for pesticides in foods and enforces those set by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). The EPA has the authority to take actions like destroying crops due to pesticide misuse.

Answer:

The Rotterdam convention requires the US to provide hazardous properties of pesticides prior to exportation.
