Siyang Rodenticide Factory’s Post

Today (10/1/24) marks the first milestone of Connecticut’s latest targeted #PFAS phase out law. Effective today, no person shall use, sell or offer for sale as a soil amendment any #biosolids or wastewater sludge that contain PFAS. Although the use of biosolids in Connecticut by farmers as a cost-effective fertilizer is not extensive, PFAS contamination from biosolids has raised significant and more widespread concerns in other states (e.g., Maine), resulting in the closure of multiple farms across the country.   Looking ahead, the same law (PA 24-59) eventually will require notices/labels/disclosure for products in certain key industries in 2026 before a full ban on intentionally added PFAS in those industries in 2028.

𝗥𝗘𝗚𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟: Currently, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act allows each state to create separate requirements that manufacturers must include when labeling their products. #HighPlainsJournal #HPJ #EPA #Montana

Is it billions or even trillion dollars that are at stake when it comes to PFAS? Does your organization have a PFAS response team that includes legal, sales, business, product development and the C-suite.....? Hear the answers to these questions and get a 30, 000 overview of the current PFAS landscape here in the US. The AGRO division of ACS has put up my recent PFAS presentation on Youtube--much thanks to Solito Sumulong, MBA and James Schmidt for assisting with the webinar! Shameless self-promotion here--if you need a speaker to provide a similar PFAS overview, get in touch--matt@greenheroninfo.net #pfas #water #environment #legal #science #regulatoryaffairs #law #environmentallaw #remediation https://lnkd.in/geSg66vd

Check out our article to learn more about the changes in global pesticide regulations: https://okt.to/RJGqkB Recent events such as European farmers’ protests and legislation in major pesticide-using countries like Brazil and the USA have caused a temporary increase in backing for pesticide use- but is this a lasting change? Whatever happens at the political and regulatory level, the analytical testing community must be ready to react and adapt to regulatory and scientific change. At LGC, we offer high-quality, reliable, and up-to-date analytical tools that help give you confidence in the integrity of the testing methods and results. #PesticideRegulations #PesticideAnalysis

Despite all the technological improvements and increased regulations, pesticide application is not always perfect. Pesticide drift, aka off-target application, aka chemical trespass, resulting in crop damage and yield loss continues to create claims and litigation between neighbors. In many cases, proving whether a chemical trespass may be straightforward. However, proving economic losses are generally more difficult and may encompass losses that extend beyond the crop year.

𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝘀! In a compact format of an intensive morning session on 21 March 2024 we shed light on recent regulatory topics and give helpful compliance tips.  - We will cover biostimulants, which are no longer considered as plant protection products, but now fall under the EU Fertiliser Regulation and REACH Regulation.   - We will outline the progress of PFAS and PFAS restrictions, which also affect pesticides.   - We will build on your knowledge about the Farm to Fork strategy, especially where the initiative stands before the 2024 election.    - You will also discover how the EU sanction framework will affect data sharing under the regulations on chemicals, especially the REACH Regulation but also the EU Plant Protection Regulation 1107/2009.     Join us also for the latest update on copper and other active substances.  Get your latest update here: https://lnkd.in/eYWPAy6u Picture Credit: © YummyBuum – adobestock.com

Pesticide manufacturers and registrants, like many other companies, are facing increased pressure to remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from their products. This pressure, however, is often focused on how the substances are defined as a class, rather than how science has measured the toxicity of each specific substance within it. This is particularly troubling with respect to PFAS because most of the substances in the class lack any scientific evidence of an ability to harm humans, animals or the environment. For more information on efforts to ban PFAS as a class in pesticides, read our (Joo Cha Webb and Julie Michalski) alert below.

Next year, the Florida pesticide examination process will undergo changes related to education, training, support and testing. Follow the link below to learn about the new process. #VoiceOfAg https://bit.ly/4dPqbD7
