Nov
26, 2002 - European
Commission: Barium fluosilicate
is one of 320 pesticides to be withdrawn in July 2003.
"Some 320 substances used in plant
protection products (PPPs) Ð including insecticides, fungicides
and herbicides Ð are to be withdrawn from the market by 25 July
2003 as part of the European Commission's new approach to the
evaluation of active substances in plant protection products.
This aims to improve safeguards to ensure that all such products
in use are safe for the environment and human health. Users,
wholesalers and retailers of plant protection products will
need to be aware of whether the products they use or sell are
likely to be withdrawn, so as to prevent them being left with
stocks of unusable material. Those concerned should contact
their national authority to check the authorisation status for
any particular product. The Regulation (n¡ 2076/2002 of 20 November
2002), with the list of the 320 substances, has been published
in the Offical Journal. Ref: MIDDAY EXPRESS. News from the Press
and Communication Service's midday briefing. |

Explanation
from PAN: |
*
Parent: Compounds labeled with a "P" are the parent
compound of the group. The parent chemical was chosen on the
basis of available toxicity information, where chemicals with
the maximum amount of toxicity information assigned to parent
status. Where no toxicity information was available for any
member of a group, we assigned parent status to the least
derivatized member of the group for organic compounds (e.g.,
benzoic acid would be the parent instead of methyl benzoate),
the sodium salt (for compounds with a common anion), or the
chloride salt (for compounds with a common cation). These
are general guidelines and not hard and fast rules, because
the groups are rarely so easy to categorize. For some groups
with no obvious parent, assignment of parent status was arbitrary. |
Group
1: Salts, esters and/or complexes of the parent chemical,
e.g., glyphosate and glyphosate, isopropylamine salt; 2,4-D
and 2,4-D, butoxyethyl ester. Alternatively, the parent
compound itself is an ester or salt, and related compounds
are other esters or salts.
