PART C.Health and Environmental Information

• ? Problem
• The main problem in plant is the
  dust-contaminated, especially for WP formulation.
  
• Some farmers and workers in plant are lack of
  the decontaminate equipment and personal safety
  facility.
• ? MOA Function Residue monitoring
• There is one National Centers awarded by MOA,
  which is located in ICAMA. 8 person and sets of
  instruments, including HPLC, GC, GC-MS, HPLC-MS,
  HPLC-MS/MS, MS/MS, SPE, GPC, ASE, AAS, etc.
• Published The Guideline for Safety
  Application of Pesticides, it regulates near 400
  residue limits include about 170 a.i. on more
  than 20 crops.
• There are 54 test units are empowered to
  undertake the residue test for the pesticides
  registration.
• Some pesticides have been noticed and tested
  by the government Fipronil , Carbofuran
  ,Aldicarb for Environmental test.

PART C.Health and Environmental Information

• ? MOH Function
• Protect plant workers and the farmers.
• Published the data on pesticides poisoning
  (2044 cases of occupational poisoning, 5 cases of
  death in 2003).
• ? SEPA Function
• SEPA monitoring environmental contamination on
  pesticides. All the poisonous chemicals must be
  registration on SEPA by the law.

MOA, MOH, GAQSIQ, and SAIC are all involved
the management of food safety. MOA is in charge
of the farm production, GAQSIQ, and SAIC are in
charge of processed food. MOH is in charge of the
accident in urgency.

PART D. Trends in Pesticide Manufacture, Use and
Trade ? Every batch of pesticides, when imported
or exported, should get a certificate, which
issue by ICAMA, and show it to the Customs, the
certificate shows the pesticide has been
registration and could be sold in China. So ICAMA
has the data for almost all the data on
pesticides name, quantity, value and export or
import. There is a problem with illegal trade
in pesticides, but it is not a serious problem
and is a small quantity of illegal trade by now.
15
PART E. Selected Standards

• MOA and NDARC control the high toxicity
  pesticides strictly in processing and using in
  China. According to the Regulations on Pesticide
  Administration, extremely and high toxicity
  pesticides are forbidden to use on vegetable,
  fruit, tea, Chinese medicine herbs, melon and
  public health. By the end of
  2006, Methamidophos, parathion, parathionmethyl,
  phosphamidon and monocrotophos formulations
  should not be registration and used on any crop
  in China.
• Other banned ingredients are list as next page.
• The packaging of pesticides is prescribed by
  General rules of Pesticide Packaging, Sampling
  Methods of Commercial Pesticides, a. General
  Rules of Pesticide Labels is another national
  standard draft out by ICAMA.

  which issued by Ministry of Communications (MOC).

PART E. Selected Standards

• There is no national training program/projects
  focusing on risk reduction yet. Some plants and
  local association are engaging this job.
• There almost have any practices and available
  services to collect and dispose of used
  containers and left-over pesticides  
• There are amounts of outdated or obsolete
  pesticides in the plants or dealers. ICAMA and
  SEPA are planning and preparing a project to set
  up several facilities in the country,which should
  be used to deal with the used containers and
  outdated or obsolete pesticides, collaborated
  with GTZ.
• ICAMA publish the registration information of
  pesticides in Internet and periodical. So it is
  easily to distinguish whether a pesticide has
  been registered and could be supervised in the
  market.

Conclusions and Comments

• ? Five scope of the Code are particularly
  important
• --- Quality management.
• --- Label management.
• --- Farmers educating.
• --- Market supervising.
• --- Pesticides disposing
• ? Three important strengths
• --- MOA play an most important role for
  pesticides management.
• --- High level of Data Requirement for Pesticides
  Registration is published for years.
• --- Built up a whole system of pesticides
  management.
• ? Two weaknesses
• --- Lacking of human resource.
• --- Farmers educating.  
• ? Bottleneck of pesticides management
• General development level. So the most important
  affairs, which the government should do, are to
  keep the stabilization of society and developing
  the economy.
