Legislative or administrative measures:
Pursuant to Pest Control Products Act CAP 346 and the Pest Control Products (Registration) Regulations of 1984 (Rev.2012) on safeguarding human health and environment, the 143rd Board of Management of Pest Control Products Board banned the use of Carbofuran on 14th March 2019. The PCP Act CAP 346 and the Pest Control Products (Registration) Regulations of 1984 (Rev.2012) empowers the Board to refuse approval of use of a pest control product if the use of the pest control product would lead to an unacceptable risk to public health, plants, animals, or the environment. The Board may also revoke any existing registration if new information becomes available that renders the pest control product unsafe or dangerous. The final decision was informed by the guidance document (DGD) on Carbofuran that was communicated to designated national authorities on 15th September 2017 in accordance with Articles 7 and 10 of the Rotterdam Convention, and by supporting information from notifying countries of European Union, Canada and the CILSS countries. From the information sources, it was concluded that the use of carbofuran presents an unacceptable risk to human health and the environment. In human health consideration, carbofuran was observed to present unacceptable occupational risk of harm to operators and workers conducting certain mixing, loading, applying or post-application activities. Dietary risk assessment demonstrated that exposure to carbofuran from food and drinking water was unacceptable. Carbofuran also posed unacceptable risk to terrestrial and aquatic organisms. Additionally, thirty-three environmental incident reports from the United States and Canada were considered during the review of carbofuran and indicated that exposure to carbofuran under the registered use pattern resulted in avian, small wild mammal and bee mortality. |
