The Agency concluded that captan is only a potential human carcinogen at an exposure threshold significantly greater than likely dietary or non-dietary exposure. In other words, the EPA concluded that labelled uses of captan are imlikely to cause human cancers (EPA Pesticide Program Update, 12-9-04).

For the above reasons, EPA s Office of Pesticide Programs has proposed a policy on the procedures for regulating pesticides contaminated with N-nitroso compound 0. Comments from the public and involved parties were invited and will be considered when EPA is preparing its final policy on N-nitroso compounds in pesticides, later in 1981 or early 1982. It is the intent of this paper to discuss l) the proposed policy by EPA 0 the important issues raised during the public comment period and (3) suggest what the final policy might look like.

Endrin is no longer manufactured in the United States. Velsicol Chemical Company, Memphis, Tennessee, was the producer of endrin until the final voluntary cancellation of registration with the Office of Pesticide Programs in 1991 (Bishop 1984, 1985, 1986 EPA 1983e USDA 1995). It is estimated that 2.3-4.5 million kg (5.1-9.9 million pounds) of endrin were sold in the United States in 1962, while less than 450,000 kg (990,000 pounds) were produced in 1971 (IARC 1974). More recent estimates of domestic production of endrin could not be found (HSDB 1995). As with many toxic chemicals, information on production or use of pesticides is often proprietary, and quantitative estimates of production of endrin are virtually impossible to obtain (Bason and Colbom 1992). Chemical manufacturers in the United States however, can legally produce pesticides for export that are currently banned or not registered for use in the United States (FASE 1996). No information on the production of endrin was available from the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) because endrin is not one of the chemicals that facilities are required to report (EPA 1995a).
