§ Dr. Roger Thomasasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the concentration of dioxin in 2,4,5-T and related compounds which is accepted as safe for general use in the United Kingdom.
290W
§ Mrs. FennerThe current maximum permitted level of dioxin in 2,4,5-T is 0.01 mg/Kg. This is one part per 100 million, and is the minimum level determinable by current analytical techniques.
§ Dr. Roger Thomasasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list the proprietary preparations of 2,4,5-T and allied compounds in the United Kingdom which have (a) restricted use, and (b) unrestricted use.
§ Mrs. FennerUnder the pesticides safety precautions scheme, all pesticides cleared for use in the United Kingdom have some restrictions placed on their use. The degree of restriction varies according to the toxicity of the formulated product. For example, dilute, less toxic products formulated for domestic use do not require the same safety precautions to be observed when handling the material as do the more concentrated products formulated for professional use.
The proprietary products listed are those containing 2,4,5-T which are cleared for use in the United Kingdom.
