據(jù)美國聯(lián)邦公報消息,7月5日美國環(huán)保署發(fā)布通告,豁免二氧化鈦(Titanium Dioxide)作為農藥助劑(0.1%,按重量計)用于控制蜂巢雅氏瓦螨時的最大殘留限量。
本次豁免申請由拜耳保健公司提交。美國環(huán)保署經評估,按照本次用途沒必要制定其最大殘留限量。
部分原文報道如下:
This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of titanium dioxide(CAS Reg. No. 13463-67-7)in honey when used as an inert ingredient(colorant)at a concentration of not more than 0.1% by weight in pesticide formulations intended for varroa mite control around bee hives. Bayer Healthcare, LLC submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act(FFDCA),requesting establishment of an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of titanium dioxide resulting from this use.
