Feb 19, 1999: The US Commerce Department's Export Administration imposed
a civil penalty of $750,000 on ALCOA for 100 violations of US export
regulations involving shipments of potassium fluoride and
sodium fluoride. Potassium fluoride and
sodium fluoride are controlled because they
can be used to make chemical weapons. |

| The
major use of sodium hexafluorosilicate and fluorosilicic
acid is as fluoridation agents for drinking
water. Both chemicals are also used as a chemical intermediate
(raw material) for aluminum trifluoride, cryolite (Na3AlF6), silicon
tetrafluoride... Other applications for sodium hexafluorosilicate
include its use in enamels/enamel frits for china and porcelain, in
opalescent glass, metallurgy (aluminum and beryllium), glue, ore flotation,
leather and wood
preservatives, and in insecticides and rodenticides. |

The
major use is as a fluoridation agent for drinking water. It is also
used as a List 3 inert and as a wood preservative.
Pesticides
containing sodium fluosilicate have been canceled. They were used
to control ectoparasites on livestock, as well as crawling insects
(roaches etc.) in homes and work buildings. Also was used a mothproofing
agent. |

| Environmental:
As
a class, fluorinated organic compounds are resistant to microbial
degradation and photolysis.
The
estimated volatilization half-life from a model pond is 107 years
if adsorption is considered. An estimated BCF of 500 suggests the
potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high. |
| Violation
August 2001 -
Largest
pesticide penalty ($950,000) in New York state history
for illegal distribution of S.C. Johnson roach baits.
"... According to an EPA assessment, if a child ingested the bait,
he or she could suffer irreversible reproductive damage, and boys
could be rendered infertile."
