Medical Toxicology in Industry Webinar: Pesticide Regulation in California

Friday, November 20, 2026
12:00-1:00 PM ET

Join ACMT on November 20th, 2026 at 12pm EST for an upcoming Medical Toxicology in Industry webinar featuring Pesticide Regulation in California. California is recognized for having one of the most stringent pesticide regulatory frameworks in the world, yet questions and confusion surrounding its regulations remain.

This presentation will explore how pesticides are reviewed and registered in California, along with the role of the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (CDPR) in ensuring that registered pesticides do not pose unacceptable risks to human health or the environment. Attendees will also learn about CDPR initiatives aimed at advancing the types of pesticides used by farms and consumers.

Discover how California’s regulatory framework supports pesticide safety, environmental protection, and the continued evolution of pesticide use.

Learning Objectives: Coming Soon! 

The webinar is free and open to all.
