美国环保署根据毒性数据，采用五级或三级毒性分类标准对农药进行分类，分别针对陆生和水生生物，将其生态毒性按以下标准归入不同类别：
1 陆生-鸟类：5级分类

avian: acute oral concentration (mg/kg-bw) |
avian: dietary concentration (mg/kg-diet) |
|
very highly toxic |

＜50 |
|
highly toxic |
10～50 |
50～500 |
|
moderately toxic |
51～500 |
501～1000 |
|
slightly toxic |
501～2,000 |
1,001～5,000 |
|
practically nontoxic |
＞2,000 |
＞5,000 |
2 陆生-野生哺乳类：5级分类
