Copper pesticides environmental assessment of wood preservative, material preservative and antifouling uses .: H113-28/2016-9E-PDF
"Cuprous oxide, copper hydroxide, metallic copper and copper present as mixed ethanolamine complexes are registered in Canada as wood preservatives (for example remedial), material preservatives (shingles and non-food contact surfaces) and/or antifouling coatings (such as boat/ship hulls/bottoms and aquaculture equipment). There are numerous copper-containing pesticide products that are currently registered in Canada under the authority of the Pest Control Products Act, including technical grade active ingredients, a manufacturing concentrate, commercial and domestic class end-use products. After a re-evaluation of copper-containing pesticide products, Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), under the authority of the Pest Control Products Act, is granting continued registration of copper-containing pesticide products for sale and use in Canada. An evaluation of available scientific information found that copper-containing pesticide products do not present unacceptable risks to human health or the environment when used according to the requirements of continued registration listed below, which include revised label directions for all products"--p. 1.
