This Regulatory Directive outlines Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) policy on the regulation of formulants contained in pest control products. It also provides practical guidance to applicants and registrants on implementation of the Formulants Policy. The Formulants Policy applies to registration decisions in relation to formulants in manufacturing concentrates and registered end-use products, applications for research permits and in relation to the re-evaluation of products. This document replaces Regulatory Directive DIR 2004-01, Formulants Program.
"This document describes the proposed outcome of the re-evaluation of the herbicide (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid, commonly known as 2,4-D, and its end-use products for non-turf use in Canada. This document follows and supplements a previous assessment of the turf uses of 2,4-D published in 2005. Both assessments considered the potential impact of 2,4-D on the health and safety of users and others incidentally exposed when these products are used as well as the potential environmental impact associated with using 2,4-D."--Document.
S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate (EPTC) is a thiocarbamate herbicide (resistance management group 8) that inhibits lipid synthesis (not acetyl CoA carboxylase inhibition). It works by systemic action. EPTC is registered for the control of a variety of annual grasses, broadleaf weeds and selected perennial weeds in terrestrial feed, food and oilseed crops and as a domestic class product for use in ornamentals in a residential setting. Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) is proposing that the use of EPTC and its end-use products is acceptable for continued registration with the implementation of additional mitigation measures to further protect workers, residents and the environment. This document summarizes the health and environmental risk assessments as well as the proposed mitigation measures resulting from the re-evaluation of EPTC. By way of this document, the PMRA is soliciting comments from interested parties on the proposed regulatory decision for EPTC.--Document.
The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.
The purpose of the guidelines is to provide guidance to governments that seek to review, update or design national pesticide legislation. It should be emphasized, however, that legislation alone cannot ensure effective pesticide management and adequate protection of the environment and public health. Governments will need to have in place the necessary institutional infrastructure for registering pesticides and enforcing legislation. Further, governments also need effective supporting policies and tools to promote sustainable pest and pesticide management. This may include promoting Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Integrated Vector Management (IVM) through training programmes and incentive schemes, increasing availability and use of low risk products, fostering scientific research, carrying out public education campaigns and providing training for inspectors, retailers and professional users. A solid legislative framework should underpin the selected institutional framework, policies and tools. This document supersedes the Guidelines for Legislation on the Control of Pesticides of 1989.
This volume describes the methods used in the surveillance of drinking water quality in the light of the special problems of small-community supplies, particularly in developing countries, and outlines the strategies necessary to ensure that surveillance is effective.
"In May 2009, the Government of Canada, through the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) of Health Canada, asked the Council of Canadian Academies to appoint an expert panel to answer the question, "What is the scientific status of the use of integrated testing strategies in the human and environmental regulatory risk assessment of pesticides?" The charge to the Panel was further specified in a series of sub-questions: [1] What is the state of the science of the tools and data sources associated with integrated testing strategies? [2] What is the current status of the use of integrated testing strategies for the risk assessment of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, and other chemical substances by regulatory agencies around the world? [3] Could there be potential impacts on the public's perception and confidence in regulatory risk assessment and risk management decisions for pesticides if integrated testing strategies were implemented?"--P. xiii-xiv.
