It had been decided not to include this substance in annex I (listing active substances authorised for incorporation in plant protection products) of directive 91/414 since 2007, in particular owing to concerns about the release into the environment of large amounts of known and unknown polychlorinated impurities, for which no information was available, as well as to the inconclusive risk assessment for the consumer, and the potential risk of groundwater contamination for animals and other non-target living organisms.
On otsustatud jätta see aine alates 2007. aastast direktiivi 91/414 I lisasse (milles loetletakse taimekaitsevahendites kasutamiseks lubatud toimeained) kandmata, eelkõige mure tõttu, et keskkonda satub hulgaliselt tuntud ja tundmatuid polüklooritud lisaaineid, mille kohta puudub teave, samuti seetõttu, et ei ole piisavalt hinnatud ohte tarbija jaoks ning potentsiaalset põhjavee saastumise ohtu loomadele ja muudele elusorganismidele, mis ei kuulu sihtrühma.
