Reevaluation of Soaps
Soap salts have recently been reevaluated by the PMRA as part of their reevaluation of all pesticides registered prior to 31 Dec. 1994. The PMRA is proposing continued registration subject to toxic effects on fish being noted in the Environmental Hazard section of all commercial soap salts labels, and certain changes to products used on pets; also the type of salts (ammonium salts of fatty acids, potassium salts of fatty acids or alkanolamine salts of fatty acids) must be identified.
