Description: The New Zealand Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) has published its decision on the reassessment of chlorthal-dimethyl under the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996. The EPA has decided to revoke the approval for chlorthal-dimethyl containing substances as the risks are considered to outweigh the benefits. Chlorthal-dimethyl containing substances will cease to be approved immediately from 15 December 2025 and may no longer be used in New Zealand from 18 December 2025.
