Monocrotophos Rotterdam Convention - Operation of the Prior Informed Consent (PIC) procedure for banned or severely restricted chemicals in international trade Decision Guidance Document Monocrotophos Secretariat for the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade MANDATE The Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade was adopted at the Conference of Plenipotentiaries held in Rotterdam on 10 and 11 September 1998. The Rotterdam Convention entered into force on 24 February 2004. At its ninth session, held in Geneva 30 September to 4 October 2002 the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) adopted the decision guidance document for monocrotophos (Decision INC-9/1) with the effect that all formulations of this chemical became subject to the interim PIC procedure. The Committee also decided that with the circulation of this decision guidance document, countries would be invited to submit a single decision regarding future imports that would apply to all forms of monocrotophos, including the severely hazardous formulations listed in Annex III of the Convention (soluble liquid (SL) formulations of the substance which exceed 600 g a.i./l), unless explicitly exempted in the submitted import response. At its first meeting, held in Geneva 20 to 24 September 2004, the Conference of the Parties agreed to include monocrotophos in Annex III of the Rotterdam Convention, with the effect that this chemical became subject to the PIC procedure. The present decision guidance document was communicated to the Designated National Authorities on 1 February 2005 in accordance with Article 7 and 10 of the Rotterdam Convention. Purpose of the Decision Guidance Document For each chemical included in Annex III of the Rotterdam Convention a decision guidance document has been approved by the Conference of the Parties. Decision guidance documents are sent to all Parties with a request that they provide a decision regarding future import of the chemical. The decision guidance document is prepared by the Chemical Review Committee (CRC). The CRC is a group of government designated experts established in line with Article 18 of the Convention, that evaluates candidate chemicals for possible inclusion in the Convention. The decision guidance document reflects the information provided by two or more Parties in support of the national regulatory actions to ban or severely restrict the chemical. It is not intended as the only source of information on a chemical nor is it updated or revised following its adoption by the Conference of the Parties. There may be additional Parties that have taken regulatory actions to ban or severely restrict the chemical as well as others that have not banned or severely restricted it. Such risk evaluations or information on alternative risk mitigation measures submitted by Parties may be found on the Rotterdam Convention web-site. Under Article 14 of the Convention, Parties can exchange scientific, technical, economic and legal information concerning the chemicals under the scope of the Convention including toxicological, ecotoxicological and safety information. This information may be provided directly to other Parties or through the Secretariat. Information provided to the Secretariat will be posted on the Rotterdam Convention website (www.pic.int). Information on the chemical may also be available from other sources. DISCLAIMER The use of trade names in this document is primarily intended to facilitate the correct identification of the chemical. It is not intended to imply any approval or disapproval of any particular company. As it is not possible to include all trade names presently in use, only a number of commonly used and published trade names have been included in this document. While the information provided is believed to be accurate according to data available at the time of preparation of this Decision Guidance Document, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) disclaim any responsibility for omissions or any consequences that may flow therefrom. Neither FAO or UNEP shall be liable for any injury, loss, damage or prejudice of any kind that may be suffered as a result of importing or prohibiting the import of this chemical, or of any use of the information in the present document which would be in contravention of the law in force. The designations employed and the presentation of material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of FAO or UNEP concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers. No part of this publication shall be reproduced without a clear reference to its source. ABBREVIATIONS WHICH MAY BE USED IN THIS DOCUMENT (N.B.

Box 2460, Riyadh 11451, Saudi Arabia; [email protected] 2 Department of Soils and Water, Faculty of Agriculture, Suez Canal University, Ismailia 41522, Egypt * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +966-501728656 Received: 5 January 2020; Accepted: 2 February 2020; Published: 5 February 2020 Abstract: The assessment of the vulnerability of soil and groundwater resources to pesticide contamination is important to reduce the risk of environmental pollution. The applicability of the expanded attenuation factor (EAF) to assess leaching potential of 30 pesticides was investigated under 1 four recharge rates (0.0003–0.002 m d− ) in the arid environment of the Jazan watershed. EAF results revealed that Picloram, Carbofuran, Monocrotophos, and 2,4-D pesticides showed high leaching potential, mainly because of their low KOC, and relatively longer t1/2. In addition, medium leaching potential was observed with six more pesticides (Atrazine, Aldicarb, Simazine, Methomyl, Oxamyl, and Lindane). Regardless of the recharge rate, all other pesticides showed a very low leaching potential in the Jazan watershed. Sensitivity analysis revealed that the output of the EAF index is most sensitive to the fraction of organic carbon ( foc), water content at field capacity (θFC ), recharge rate (q), and partition coefficient (KOC), and least sensitive to soil bulk density (ρb) and air-filled porosity (na).

  • Evaluation of Genotoxicity of Monocrotophos and Quinalphos In
    Integrative Pharmacology, Toxicology and Genotoxicology Research Article ISSN: 2058-8496 Evaluation of genotoxicity of monocrotophos and quinalphos in rats and protective effects of melatonin Vibhuti Mishra, Sapneh Sharma, Shilpa Khatri and Nalini Srivastava* School of Studies in Biochemistry, Jiwaji University, Gwalior 474 011, India Abstract Monocrotophos [dimethyl-[E]-1-methyl-2-(methyl carbamoyl) vinyl phosphate, MCP] and quinalphos [O,O-diethyl-o-(2-quinoxymethyl)-phosphorothionate, QNP] are highly toxic, broad spectrum and cholinesterase inhibiting pesticides which are extensively used in agriculture and household. Acute and chronic exposure of these pesticides has adverse effects on living organisms. Present study was carried out to evaluate the genotoxic potential of these pesticides using comet assay and micronucleus assay in rats and also to analyze the protective effects of melatonin. Both acute and chronic exposure caused DNA damage in rat tissues and lymphocytes as evident from the statistically significant increase in DNA damage index on pesticide exposure. However the co-treatment of melatonin decreased the damage index to significant levels. At the same time, statistically significant number of micronuclei was observed in polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) in the bone marrow of rats treated with pesticides when compared to control group but the co-treatment of melatonin decreased the number of micronucleated PCE in the pesticide treated rats. Hence, the co treatment of melatonin has the ability to reduce the genotoxic potential of MCP and QNP under the experimental conditions applied in the present study. Introduction is an inevitable consequence of cellular metabolism, with a propensity for increased levels following toxic insults due to exposure with Pesticides are highly toxic compounds extensively used for the various environmental chemicals, radiations, metals and pesticides.
