The List of Pest Control Product Formulants and Contaminants of Health or Environmental Concern has been published in the Canada Gazette, Part II. This is a necessary step toward bringing into force the new Pest Control Products Act, which was given Royal Assent in December 2002. Establishing the List is necessary to meet the objectives of the new Pest Control Products Act. The List is designed to increase transparency of the pest management regulatory system, in accordance with the new Pest Control Products Act. The List of Pest Control Product Formulants and Contaminants of Health or Environmental Concern will come into effect at the same time the new Act comes into force.
The List of Pest Control Product Formulants and Contaminants of Health or Environmental Concern and Explanatory Note are available in the Canada Gazette, Part II, Vol. 139, No. 24, page 2641.
