In Australia, comfrey is classified as a poison, and its sale has been restricted in several states (USP, 1998). In Austria, medicinal preparations of comfrey must be registered with the Federal Ministry of Health and Environmental Protection, and can be sold only in pharmacies. A similar situation exists in Sweden, where comfrey products must be registered. Sale for medicinal use is prohibited in Belgium, the United Kingdom, and Indonesia. In Canada, the Health Protection Branch of Health does not accept comfrey root as an ingredient in medicinal products, and it is listed as unacceptable as a food. In France, as in Germany, the root is permitted for external use only.

Relationships are looser in some countries. The health authority of Canada claims that the Canadian GMP guidelines of 2002 [16] have been revised in line with the PIC and the WHO guides as well as the GMP guide on APIs produced by ICH. (See below.) The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare (MHLW) explains that ordinance no. 3 as the legal base for GMP requirements in Japan [17] has been drawn up taking into account both the relevant paragraphs of the U.S. CFR, parts 210 and 211, as well as the WHO guide. 

The elevated toxaphene levels in Lake Superior have social and economic impacts as well. The 2003 Guide to Eating Sport Fish published by the Ontario Ministry of Environment and Energy [158] indicates fish consumption advisories for Lake Superior lake trout due to toxaphene levels. As a result of the high toxaphene levels, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources has restricted sale with Ontario (but not the export) of large lake trout harvested from Lake Superior as of 1995. An assessment of toxaphene levels in Lake Superior fish fillets by Health Canada concluded that consumption of lake trout, salmon, longnose sucker and whitefish muscle from northwestern areas of the lake should be limited to one or two meals per month (55-135 g/week) based on a provisional tolerable daily intake of 0.2 pg/g body wt/day [159].

The only limits for the intake of uranium by the public are those of Canada and the United States pertaining to the concentration in public water supplies. The Ministry of National Health and Welfare set the Canadian limit at 20 xg/liter (250 mBq/liter) [16]. The current U.S. Environmental Protection Agency limit is 8 p,g/liter (1(X) mBq/liter) and is suggesting an increase to 20 p,g/liter (250 mBq/liter) based on the potential for carcinogenesis [17,18].
