Survey Methods
 
In the fall of 2004, NCAP surveyed retail stores in the Eugene, Oregon area and recorded the name and the EPA registration number of the pesticide products we found. In April, 2006, we used Washington State University's Pesticide Information Center OnLine to determine the percentage of each product that was active ingredients and thus, by subtraction, the percentage of each product that was inert ingredients.
