Sulfuryl fluoride

Comments submitted by Paul & Ellen Connett

PF-1068 DOW

Pesticide Petition to Establish tolerances for inorganic Fluoride and Sulfuryl fluoride for a large number (40) of raw and processed foods. As Fluoride is the endpoint of toxicological concern, it is these tolerances that are of concern. The highest tolerance for Fluoride residues in this petition is for processed Wheat Germ at 98 parts per million.

This is the second request made by Dow for fluoride tolerances. Both requests are due to the effort to replace the banned fumigant Methyl Bromide, a known ozone depleter. Dow's first request for an Experimental Use Permit was approved by EPA on Feb 7, 2002 (see below).

It is important to read the health assessment on Fluoride prepared by EPA and published in the FR on Sept 5, 2002.

April 24, 2002

Cryolite

Comments submitted by Paul and Ellen Connett

OPP-2002-0007 Gowan Company

New and modified tolerances. According to Gowan's petition: "The estimated dietary exposure in this assessment for cryolite... Grapes and grape products are the largest contributors to dietary exposure estimates for all population subgroups. Lettuce was also a significant source of exposure for adult populations." The following specific actions are proposed:

  • Modify existing tolerances:
    • Apricots from 7 ppm to 10 ppm
    • Cucumber from 7 ppm to 4 ppm
    • Cranberry from 7 ppm to 2 ppm
    • Kale from 7 ppm to 35 ppm
    • Kiwi from 15 ppm to 8 ppm
    • Nectarines from 7 ppm to 10 ppm
    • Plums from 7 ppm to 2 ppm (tolerance with regional registration)
  • Renew tolerances and remove time-limitation:
    • Potatoes - 2 ppm
    • Potatoes, waste from processing 22 ppm
  • Establish new tolerances:
    • Berries (crop group 13) - 0.5 ppm (replaces separate existing tolerances for blackberries, blueberries, boysenberries, dewberries, loganberries, raspberries and youngberries)
    • Prunes - 7 ppm (tolerance with regional registration)
