| Contents Notes |
This notice announces that EPA is initiating a Special Review of all pesticide products containing the active ingredient captafol. Captafol is a fungicide used to control the foliar diseases of certain fruits and vegetables. EPA has determined that captafol is oncogenic in rats and mice and is highly toxic to fish. Captafol meets or exceeds the risk criteria as described in 40 CFR 162.11. Accordingly, a Special Review of products containing captafol is appropriate to determine whether additional regulatory actions, if any, are required. During the Special Review process, EPA will carefully examine the risks and benefits of using captafol products. |
