Draft Resolution number 1099, 24 June 2022.

This draft resolution proposes a resolution by the Collegiate Board of Directors - RDC - on the banning of the active ingredient CARBENDAZIM in pesticide products in the country. Carbendazim underwent reassessment, which concluded that the substance has toxicological properties that, according to Brazilian legislation, are prohibitive for the registration of pesticides. Therefore, a RDC should be proposed, determining the best solution to the issue, deciding on: its maintenance, adoption of measures to mitigate health risks, the need for changes in its records, the suspension of its use, or the prohibition of its production, import, export, commercialization and use of the active ingredient and its technical and formulated products.
