The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated
with the proposed use of these chemicals, and information on social,
economic, and environmental benefits to be derived from use.
Specifically, the Agency has considered the nature of the chemicals and
its pattern of use, application methods and rates, and level and extent
of potential exposure. Based on these reviews, the Agency was able to
make basic health safety determinations which show that use of these
chemicals when used in accordance with widespread and commonly
recognized practice, will not generally cause unreasonable adverse
effects to the environment.
More detailed information on these registrations is contained in
the EPA Pesticide Fact Sheets on:
i. (Z)-9-dodecenyl acetate and (E)-9-dodecenyl acetate.
ii. Oxypurinol and Xanthine.
iii. 1-methylcyclopropene.
iv. 3-[N-butyl-N-acetyl]-aminopropionic acid, ethyl ester.
