What is not being acknowledged is that the behavior modification mode of pest protection, a classification into which pheromone schemes fit much more closely then they do that of chemical pesticides, does not impart the directed toxicological risk or non-target environmental effects that drive the chemical pesticide registration process. Consider for a moment some similarities and differences ... 

These data, among many others, are important within REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of CHemicals), the new chemical policy of the European commission, which entered into force in 2007 [128]. An important issue within REACH is how to predict the environmental effects from metal alloys. The general approach so far has been to treat alloys as a mixture of the pure metals that constitute the alloys. Because of the passive behavior of many metals or alloys, but also because of other factors, this turns out to be an erroneous assumption. As an example, the release rates of copper and zinc from a brass (Cu20%Zn) surface exposed to rain water during 2 years of exposure in...
