  • Use of Pesticide Products Containing Toxic Inert Ingredients
    Inert Ingredients in Pesticide Products Inert Ingredients in Pesticide Products; Policy Statement OPP-36140; FRL-3190-1 AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: This notice announces certain policies designed to reduce the potential for adverse effects from the use of pesticide products containing toxic inert ingredients. The Agency is encouraging the use of the least toxic inert ingredient available and requiring the development of data necessary to determine the conditions of safe use of products containing toxic inert ingredients. In support of these policies, the Agency has categorized inert ingredients according to toxicity. The Agency will (1) require data and labeling for inert ingredients which have been demonstrated to cause toxic effects; (2) in selected cases pursue hearings to determine whether such inert ingredients should continue to be permitted in pesticide products; (3) require data on inert ingredients which are similar in chemical structure to chemicals with demonstrated toxic properties or which have suggestive, but incomplete data on toxicity; and (4) subject all new inert ingredients, both for food and non-food uses, to a minimal data set and scientific review. The Agency is soliciting comments on these policies. EFFECTIVE DATE: This policy is effective on April 22, 1987, subject to revision if comments received warrant such revision. ADDRESSES: Three copies of written comments bearing the document control number [OPP-36140] should be submitted, by mail, to: Information Services Section, Program Management and Support Division (TS-757C), Office of Pesticide Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St. SW., Washington, DC 20460.

The overall objectives of the IPCS are to establish the scientific basis for assessment of the risk to human health and the environment from exposure to chemicals, through international peer review processes, as a prerequisite for the promotion of chemical safety, and to provide technical assistance in strengthening national capacities for the sound management of chemicals. This publication was developed in the IOMC context. The contents do not necessarily reflect the views or stated policies of individual IOMC Participating Organizations. The Inter-Organization Programme for the Sound Management of Chemicals (IOMC) was established in 1995 following recommendations made by the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development to strengthen cooperation and increase international coordination in the field of chemical safety. The Participating Organizations are: FAO, ILO, UNDP, UNEP, UNIDO, UNITAR, WHO, World Bank and OECD. The purpose of the IOMC is to promote coordination of the policies and activities pursued by the Participating Organizations, jointly or separately, to achieve the sound management of chemicals in relation to human health and the environment.

  • Toxicity and Hazard of Pesticides
    Pesticide Toxicity and Hazard April, 2017 Introduction Pesticide applicators should understand the hazards and risks associated with the pesticides they use. Pesticides vary greatly in toxicity. Toxicity depends on the chemical and physical properties of a substance, and may be defined as the quality of being poisonous or harmful to animals or plants. Pesticides have many different modes of action, but in general cause biochemical changes which interfere with normal cell functions. The toxicity of any compound is related to the dose. A highly toxic substance causes severe symptoms of poisoning with small doses. A substance with a low toxicity generally requires large doses to produce mild symptoms. Even common substances like coffee or salt become poisons if large amounts are consumed. Toxicity can be either acute or chronic. Acute toxicity is the ability of a substance to cause harmful effects which develop rapidly following exposure, i.e. a few hours or a day. Chronic toxicity is the ability of a substance to cause adverse health effects resulting from long-term exposure to a substance. There is a great range in the toxicity of pesticides to humans. The relative hazard of a pesticide is dependent upon the toxicity of the pesticide, the dose and the length of time exposed. The hazard in using a pesticide is related to the likelihood of exposure to harmful amounts of the pesticide. The toxicity of a pesticide can’t be changed but the risk of exposure can be reduced with the use of proper personal protective equipment (PPE), proper handling and application procedures. Pesticide Toxicity Some pesticides are dangerous after one large dose (acute toxicity).

To make an active ingredient useful, manufacturers add other ingredients (sometimes called inert ingredients) to “formulate” the pesticide into the final product offered for sale. This Section explains why pesticides are manufactured in different formulations and describes the benefits and disadvantages of different formulations. Learning Objectives: 1. Explain the difference between a pesticide formulation and an active ingredient. 2. Identify strengths and weaknesses of common types of pesticide formulations. 3.
