PE661.938v01-00 2/5 RE\1219871EN.docx EN treatments, such as CIPC; E. whereas the draft Commission regulation, provides for the banning within the Union of CIPC; whereas Member states had to withdraw authorisations for plant protection products containing CIPC as an active substance by 8 January 2020; F. whereas the ban of CIPC in the Union has been planned for months and was expected by the industry; G. whereas one of the most significant problems for existing potato storage sites is that CIPC gets into wooden crates, with the result that residues could still be found long after a ban, which underlines the persistent nature of this pesticide; whereas for this reason, CIPC is no longer applied in most new storage locations; H. whereas the draft Commission regulation further states that any grace period granted by Member States in accordance with Article 46 of Regulation (EC) No. 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council3 is to be as short as possible and is to expire by 8 October, 2020; I. whereas the use of CIPC is permitted in the United States and in Canada where it is used specifically in storage facilities to prevent sprouting4; J. whereas the draft Commission regulation does not provide any information about the applicant who formulated the request to account for potential contamination of potatoes above the default MRLs of 0,01 mg/kg when stored in facilities with a history of CIPC use; K. whereas this situation may eventually and in the long term lead to unfair competition compared to the situation that exists for imported potatoes and could lead to serious fraud; L. whereas the draft Commission regulation states that ’the applicant claims that, due to the specific properties of chlorpropham, with the current cleaning operations of these storage facilities remaining residues cannot be fully avoided’, without ever detailing what the cleaning operations are and what they consist of; M. whereas solutions other than waiting or the raising of MRLs exist to avoid the contamination of potatoes, such as cold storage, dismantling and replacing contaminated wooden crates, using dedicated decontamination services, or banning the storage of potatoes in contaminated sites; N. whereas default CIPC MRL in potatoes is 0,01 mg/kg; O. whereas to address persistent residues of CIPC, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded in its reasoned opinion adopted by EFSA on 13 March 2020 and published on 10 June 20205 that the MRLs recommended by the Netherlands of either 3 Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (OJ L 309, 24.11.2009, p. 1). 4 https://www3.epa.gov/pesticides/chem_search/reg_actions/reregistration/fs_PC-018301_1-Oct-96.pdf 5 EFSA reasoned opinion on the setting of temporary maximum residue levels for chlorpropham in potatoes, RE\1219871EN.docx 3/5 PE661.938v01-00 EN 0,3 mg/kg or 0,4 mg/kg were acceptable with regard to consumer safety on the basis of a consumer exposure assessment for 27 specific European consumer groups; P. whereas in light of EFSA’s conclusions on risk to consumers, the Commission proposes that the MRLs for potatoes should be set at a level of 0,4 mg/kg, which corresponds to the highest risk limit defined by EFSA; Q. whereas CIPC is notoriously detrimental to the central nervous system’s overall health; R. whereas CIPC is known as a toxic herbicide that affects the respiratory tract, the urinary system and the body’s digestive profile, and it can also impact the liver, the eyes and the skin; S. whereas not only is CIPC toxic for honey bees, but according to the Extension Toxicology Network6, chronic exposure of laboratory animals to CIPC has caused ‘retarded growth, increased liver, kidney and spleen weights, congestion of the spleen, and death.’; T. whereas the draft Commission regulation does not take into account the impact of the cocktail effect and how dangerous the combination of CIPC with other molecules on human health is; U. whereas the Commission plans to review this temporary MRL based on monitoring data submitted to the Commission by 31 December 2021 and thereafter by 31 December of each subsequent year, which paves the way for an uncertain timetable and the persistence of this pesticide in the diet of Europeans; Precautionary principle V. whereas Article 191(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) sets out the precautionary principle as one of the fundamental principles of the Union; W. whereas Article 168(1) TFEU states that ‘a high level of human health protection shall be ensured in the definition and implementation of all Union policies and activities’; X. whereas Directive 2009/128/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council 7 aims to achieve a sustainable use of pesticides in the Union by reducing the risks and impacts of pesticide use on human and animal health and the environment and by promoting the use of integrated pest management and of alternative approaches or techniques, such as non-chemical alternatives to pesticides; Y. whereas the draft Commission regulation to increase MRL for CIPC does not respect the precautionary principle; 1. Opposes adoption of the draft Commission regulation; EFSA Journal 2020;18(6):6061 https://efsa.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.2903/j.efsa.2020.6061 6 http://extoxnet.orst.edu/pips/choropro.htm 7 Directive 2009/128/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing a framework for Community action to achieve the sustainable use of pesticides (OJ L 309, 24.11.2009, p. 71).

Considers that the draft Commission regulation is not compatible with the aim and content of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005; 4. Considers that the Union and the Commission should respect the precautionary principle, and should not encourage the use of ban pesticides by raising their MRLs; 5.

  • Investigation on the Behavior of Pesticides in Atmosphere
    Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 11: 783–790, 2011 Copyright © Taiwan Association for Aerosol Research ISSN: 1680-8584 print / 2071-1409 online doi: 10.4209/aaqr.2010.10.0085 Investigation on the Behavior of Pesticides in Atmosphere Pasquale Avino1, Giuseppe Cinelli2, Ivan Notardonato2, Mario V. Russo2* 1 DIPIA, INAIL (ex-ISPESL), via Urbana 167, 00184 Rome, Italy 2 Faculty of Agriculture, University of Molise, via De Sanctis, Campobasso, Italy ABSTRACT Although pesticides are widely used in agriculture, they and in particular the relative residues in foodstuffs, water and atmosphere, may cause remarkable sanitary problems due to the harmful effects (carcinogenic and mutagenic effects) on the human health. In fact, their spread in waters and atmosphere can produce undesired effects on various organisms and/or water contamination. This paper shows an analytical approach based on XAD-2 adsorbent and GC analysis for evaluating the pesticide trend in atmosphere: in particular, the pesticides investigated are omethoate, dicrotofos, disulfoton, dimethoate, parathion methyl, formothion, paraoxon ethyl, malaoxon, parathion ethyl, iodofenfos and triazofos. For the analytical methodology a linearity response was obtained (r2 = 0.9988) in GC-NPD whereas the limits of detection range between 2 and 5 pg/μL in GC-NPD with a Relative Standard Deviation below 9.5. Finally, this approach has been successfully applied to real samples: the results show that dimethoate concentration decreases with increasing distance from the sampling site but it is still persistent in atmosphere after few days from the pesticide spraying. Keywords: Pesticides; XAD-2 adsorbent; GC analysis; Atmosphere; Air quality. INTRODUCTION 2009). One of the most important OP reactions is water hydrolysis.
