PESTICIDES: OECD Issue Paper on Microbial Contaminant Limits for Microbial Pest Control Products

10-janv.-2012

The purpose of this Issue Paper that has been developed by the OECD BioPesticides Steering Group, is to highlight current international microbial contaminant criteria on food and drinking water and to encourage discussions among OECD member countries on the acceptable levels of microbial contamination in microbial pest control products. A compilation of methods available for screening microbial pest control products for the presence of pathogens and other micro-organism contaminants are referenced for guidance to regulatory authorities and applicants/notifiers alike.

PESTICIDES: Report of the Second OECD BioPesticides Steering Group Seminar on the Fate in the Environment of Microbial Control Agents and their Effects on Non-Target Organisms

10-janv.-2012

This report presents the results of an OECD Seminar (Paris, May 2010) on biopesticide issues related to the fate in the environment of microbial biological control agents (mBCAs) and their effects on non-target organisms (NTOs), an issue of interest to OECD member countries’ governments.  The objectives of the Seminar were manifold and sought to 1/ identify key issues & challenges, 2/ provide updates of national & international activities, and 3/ suggest options for OECD countries and key stakeholders in the area of the fate in the environment of mBCAs and their effects on NTOs.

Document de Consensus révisé sur les considérations de composition des nouvelles variétés de colza à faible taux d’acide érucique

05-janv.-2012

Le Document de Consensus révisé sur la composition des nouvelles variétés de colza à faible taux d’acide érucique (« canola » en anglais) est disponible en ligne, No. 24 de la Série des nouveaux aliments destinés à la consommation humaine ou animale. Il traite des principaux nutriments, anti-nutriments et substances toxiques des aliments issus de ces colzas dont les variétés transgéniques sont en utilisation croissante dans certains pays. Ce document révise la publication de 2001 (No. 1 de la Série) qui est donc abrogée.

Two additional databases : Combined Exposure and Australian NICNAS Other available on eChemPortal

03-janv.-2012

The Collection of Case Studies on Risk Assessments of Combined Exposures to Multiple Chemicals (Combined Exposures) can now be searched on eChemPortal. To date, it gathers 5 case studies from the WHO OECD ILSI/HESI International Workshop on Risk Assessment of Combined Exposures to Multiple Chemicals.
The Australian NICNAS Other database contains Hazard assessment reports on existing chemicals other than Priority Existing Chemical assessments.
