1Institute of Applied Biosciences, Department of Food Chemistry and Toxicology, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) Adenauerring 20a, Building 50.41 76131 Karlsruhe Germany.
Abstract:
TEPP (O,O,O,O-tetraethylpyrophosphate) [107-49-3] is used as an insecticide and acaricide. In the European Union it has never been approved and it is not approved in Germany since 1967. The previous MAK value documentation and addendum do not reflect the current data situation of the substance. The MAK Commissiondecided that a new evaluation is not of high priority. The MAK value and the other classifications are therefore suspended and the substance is listed in the Section II c of the List of MAK and BAT Values for substances no longer evaluated.
