Project Description

Project Title:  View help for Project Title Pesticide Data Program (PDP)
Summary:  View help for Summary The Pesticide Data Program (PDP) is a national pesticide residue database program. Through cooperation with State agriculture departments and other Federal agencies, PDP manages the collection, analysis, data entry, and reporting of pesticide residues on agricultural commodities in the U.S. food supply, with an emphasis on those commodities highly consumed by infants and children.

This dataset provides information on where each tested sample was collected, where the product originated from, what type of product it was, and what residues were found on the product, for calendar years 1992 through 2023. The data can measure residues of individual compounds and classes of compounds, as well as provide information about the geographic distribution of the origin of samples, from growers, packers and distributors. The dataset also includes information on where the samples were taken, what laboratory was used to test them, and all testing procedures (by sample, so can be linked to the compound that is identified). The dataset also contains a reference variable for each compound that denotes the limit of detection for a pesticide/commodity pair (LOD variable). The metadata also includes EPA tolerance levels or action levels for each pesticide/commodity pair. The dataset will be updated on a continual basis, with a new resource data file added annually after the PDP calendar-year survey data is released.
