Info

This evaluation takes into account that ERMA New Zealand‘s assessment is based on theinformation that is available to it. Additional information is welcomed. ERMA New Zealandinvites submitters to provide additional information that they might have, and notes thefollowing as areas where additional information may be particularly useful:the level of benefit offered by dichlorvos substances, especially regarding socialeffects from the use of dichlorvos (e.g. effect on local employment opportunities,direct/indirect local community impact arising from dichlorvos use);the level of ecomonic benefit provided to the public health sector by dichlorvos;the financial implications of overseas restrictions on crops treated with dichlorvos;identification of the use and availability of alternative substances, with particularregard to dichlorvos use in non-agricultural enclosed space use;identification of use patterns that have not been included in the assessment;provision of data to determine when unrestricted entry into treated glasshouses ormushroom houses can occur;identification of minimum effective application rates, which may be used to refinethe exposure assessment;feasibility of proposed risk management measures, and the implications of themodified control regime (such as financial implications of installing or upgradingapplication equipment).ERMA New Zealand considers that:the non-negligible risks to the environment (Use Scenarios 1 to 8) cannot bereduced to negligible by the application of practicable controls to the existingapprovals, and that these adverse effects are not outweighed by the positiveeffects;the non-negligible risks to human health can be reduced to negligible for the UseScenarios 9 to 29, and 31 by the application of practicable controls;the non-negligible risks to human health cannot be reduced to negligible for UseScenario 30 by the application of practicable controls, and that these adverseeffects are not outweighed by the positive effects.ERMA New Zealand considers that the Outcome Scenarios in Table ES. 5 are appropriate forcontinued safe use of dichlorvos in New Zealand.Table ES. 5Summary of proposed Outcome Scenarios for use of dichlorvos.Use Scenarios Continue Use Restrict Use /Additional ControlsOutdoor agricultural usage1 - 8Enclosed space, agricultural usage9 - 16Enclosed space, industrial usage17 - 25Enclosed space, domestic usageOutcomeScenario (a)OutcomeScenario (b)DiscontinueUseOutcomeScenario (c)Dichlorvos reassessment – application Page 10 of 436
26 - 29Outdoor public space usage30Biosecurity use31Manufacture for export32Preliminary RecommendationsOn the basis of its evaluation of whether the risks associated with the use of dichlorvos inNew Zealand outweigh the benefits, ERMA New Zealand proposes the following preliminaryrecommendations to ensure that practices minimise the risk for people and the environment:Discontinue Use (Outcome Scenario (c)) for outdoor agricultural or public area uses.Continue Use (Outcome Scenario (a)) is proposed for dichlorvos (approval numberHSR002838).Continue Use (Outcome Scenario (a)) is proposed for J72.03 (approval number HSR001757).Restrict Use / Additional Controls (Outcome Scenario (b)) is proposed for the followingdichlorvos-containing substances:DDVP Insecticide Strip (approval number HSR000126);Flammable aerosol containing 3.1 g/litre dichlorvos and 8.7 g/litre propoxur(approval number HSR000207);Ready to use liquid containing 4.4 g/litre dichlorvos and 9.6 g/litre propoxur(approval number HSR000209);Emulsifiable concentrate containing 1000 g/litre dichlorvos (approval numberHSR000211);Aerosol containing 50 g/kg dichlorvos (approval number HSR000212);Emulsifiable concentrate containing 1140 g/litre dichlorvos (approval numberHSR000213).The proposed variations for these approvals are detailed in Table ES. 6.Table ES. 6Summary of the proposed variations for dichlorvos and dichlorvos-containingsubstances.Substance detailsHSR002838Dichlorvos[CAS #62-73-7]HSR000126DDVPInsecticide StripUse Scenario31HSR000207FlammableProposed variationsNo variations to existing conditions proposed.1. Use that is not in accordance with the label instructions is prohibited;2. Introduce PPE requirements for operators;3. Restrict the number of strips handled / traps serviced by operators per day;4. Labelling requirements to identify the inhalation risk;5. Provision of guidance material for transportation and use of DDVP Strips.1. Use that is not in accordance with the label instructions is prohibited;2. Restrict use to industrial sites and by commercial applicators only –Dichlorvos reassessment – application Page 11 of 436
