ACTIVITY: Insecticide (Fluorine,
Inorganic)
Structure:
A
February 13, 2005, check at the Code
of Federal Regulations for Cryolite: this insecticide
is permitted in or on
32
food commodities from the use of the
fluorine compounds cryolite and synthetic cryolite (sodium
aluminum fluoride)
in the United States.
Note:
Cryolite is included in the category: "Fluorine compounds".
Also included is the fumigant Sulfuryl
fluoride with 46 food tolerances. With its approval
of the first-time use of sulfuryl fluoride as a fumigant
on food in January 2004, US EPA permitted the highest levels
of inorganic fluoride in food commodities in its history.
Formal
objections were submitted March 23, 2004, to EPA on
these tolerances.
The
following list identifies the food commodities for which EPA
has set pesticide tolerances. |
