Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency is examining the ethylene bisdithiocarbamates (maneb, mancozeb, metiram, nabam and zineb) because of carcinogenic, developmental and thyroid effects caused by ethylenethiourea (ETU), a common contaminant, metabolite and degradation product of these pesticides. Available data has led the Agency to conclude that the continued registration of EBDC products for use on certain food crops, commercial ornamentals and home garden sites and in some industrial uses would result in unreasonable adverse effects to humans. In determining which uses to cancel, the Agency considered the aggregate risks posed by the EBDCs and ETU, the extent to which registered uses are being supported by registrants and, where appropriate, the risks and benefits of individual uses.
