The European Chemicals Agency's Committee for Risk Assessment has adopted four opinions on proposals for harmonized classification and labeling of industrial chemicals and pesticide active ingredients across Europe. The opinions announced March 13 concern Proquinazid, a fungicide; Amidosulfuron, a herbicide; Tebufenpyrad, used as a horticultural acaricide (used for killing ticks and mites); and 1,1',1''-nitrilotripropan-2-ol (TIPA), a chemical intermediate used as an additive in concrete and cement, in plastics and in fuels. It is used in metalworking fluids, coatings and adhesives, detergents and cleaners, wood protection formulations, personal care products, and laboratory chemicals.
