The oral LD50 (95% fiducial limits) for PHO in corn oil was 0.88 (0.79, 1.04) mg/kg in males and 0.55 (0.46, 0.63) mg/kg in females with a probit slope of 15. Females had higher baseline blood cholinesterase titers, but males were significantly more toler- ant. Younger rats generally had lower absolute cholinesterase blood titers. However as PHO challenges increased, baseline-normalized cholinesterase inhibition was independent of age and gender. Butyrylcho- linesterase (BChE) and especially acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in brains of younger females were affected more than that in either males or older females. In summary, while female rats, especially older females, had higher titers relative to males, female rats were more susceptible in terms of absolute cholinesterase inhibition and 24-hr lethality data, but the differences were not observed when titers were normalized to baseline levels.

These metabolites prevent ChE-mediated hydrolysis and inactivation of the neurotransmitter acetyl- choline (ACh).

For the extraction of organophosporus pesticide residues from the samples, the accelerated solvent technique with the mixture of dichloromethane: acetone (1:1, V/V ) was used. Clean up was done using liquid – liquid extraction with n – hexane, followed by solid phase extraction on primary secondary amine adsorbent, and elution with the mixture of acetone: toluene (65:35). The determination of the pesticides was carried out by gas chromatography with nitrogen phosphorus detection.

Following the alphabetical list, the EPCRA Section 313 chemicals are arranged in CAS number order. Covered chemical categories follow. Note: Chemicals may be added to or deleted from the list. The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Call Center or the TRI-Listed Chemicals website will provide up-to-date information on the status of these changes. See section B.3.c of the instructions for more information on the de minimis % limits listed below. There are no de minimis levels for PBT chemicals since the de minimis exemption is not available for these chemicals (an asterisk appears where a de minimis limit would otherwise appear in Table II). However, for purposes of the supplier notification requirement only, such limits are provided in Appendix C. Chemical Qualifiers Certain EPCRA Section 313 chemicals listed in Table II have parenthetic “qualifiers.” These qualifiers indicate that these EPCRA Section 313 chemicals are subject to the section 313 reporting requirements if manufactured, processed, or otherwise used in a specific form or when a certain activity is performed. An EPCRA Section 313 chemical that is listed without a qualifier is subject to reporting in all forms in which it is manufactured, processed, and otherwise used.

  • SECRETARY HICKEL BANS USE of 16 PESTICIDES on ANY INTERIOR LANDS OR PROGRAMS -- June 18, 1970
    i DEPARTMENT of the INTERIOR news release OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY For Release Thursday, June 18, 1970 SECRETARYHICKEL BANS USE OF 16 PESTICIDES ON ANY INTERIOR LANDS OR PROGRAMS Secretary of the Interior Walter J. Hickel today announced a new policy flatly banning the use of 16 types of pesticides on any lands managed by the Department's bureaus and agencies, or in any program run by them. The Department administers approximately 70 percent of all federally owned lands. Included in this list of prohibited pesticides are such widely-known substances as DDT, Aldrin, 2, 4, 5,-T, Dieldrin, Endrin, Heptachlor, Lindane and Toxaphene. Also on the list of unconditionally banned items are Amitrol, arsenical compounds (inorganic), Azodrin, Bidrin, DDD (TDE), mercurial compounds, Strobane, and Thallium Sulfate. The Secretary pointed out that nearly all use of these pesticides has been banned on Interior Lands during recent years. The purpose of the new statement, he said, is to establish a policy for guidance of all Interior personnel. Another group of chemical pesticides, titled the Restricted List, are to be used only when non-chemical techniques have been considered and found inadequate, and when use can be limited to small-scale applications. Secretary Hickel emphasized that the use of any chemical pesticide by his agencies must be aimed at a specific pest problem, and involve minimum strength and minimum frequency of application. "We in the Interior Department-- the Nation's chief conservation agency have a special obligation to protect the environment for all the people,“’ Secretary Hickel said. "We are charged by law with responsibility for protecting interstate and coastal water quality, our fish and wildlife resources, the integrity of our national parks, public lands, and recreation areas," the Secretary continued.
