"We want to be sure the right people get the right pesticides, channeling the more toxic substances only to those areas where they are vitally necessary". 'Theregulations set out four categories. in which pesti- cides are classified and also specify four classifications of vendor's licence. No licence will be required to sell Class D pesticides which are the most innocu- ous, for example, pressur- ized insect repellents. Of the 2,800 pesticide products sold in Ontario, 802 fall into the D category. Class C pesticides - 1,065 are available in Ontario - pose no health hazards if used with care, affect only their target organisms, and their containers are suitable for disposal in ordinary landfill ll sites. Any vendor licenced by the Ministry of the Environ- ment can sell a Class C pesticide. Pesticides in the B cate- gory, 559 substances which include the more concen- trated formulas used in agriculture and forestry, present no hazards if used properly by experienced people. They may be sold by holders of a wholesale ven- dor'slicence or of a Class 1 or 2 retail vendor's licence. They may only be sold to another vendor licensed to deal in Class B, a licensed exterminator, the holder of a permit or licence granted by the director of the Ministry's pesticides control service, or an agriculturist - one ex- ception, picloram, cannot be sold to an agriculturist. Picloram is a: persistent herbicide used to clear out brush on a large scale. It would be highly impractical in an agricultural applica- tion. Pesticides in the A cate- gory - 375 compounds - may only be sold by licensed wholesalers and retail ven- dors with a Class 1 licence. Licensed wholesalers may only sell these to other properly licensed wholesa- lers or Class 1 vendors. Class 1 vendors, in turn, may only sell these compounds to licensed exterminators and holders of a licence or permit under the Environmental Protection Act issued by the director. A restricted num- ~ ber of Class A pesticides may also be sold to agriculturists. Dealers must keep full records of transactions in- volving Class. A and B pesticides, including the name and address of the buyer and his licence "or permit number. Retailers, who have a stock of a pesticide they are no longer entitled to sell, have until September 30th to clear their shelves of this sub- stance, Mr. Auld concluded. USE CHRISTMAS SEALS ~ EJ (5
