Date : April 2019

Please note:

Paragraph 3.1.3 ‘Mammalian Toxicology’ provides an up-dated exposure assessment triggered by the revision of endpoints for 2,4-D in accordance with the

“Revised Renewal report for the active substance 2,4-D”, SANCO/11961/2014 Rev 5, published on 6th October 2017.

The following reference values for 2,4-D have been set during this re-evaluation:

ADI: 0.02 mg/kg bw per day ARfD: 0.3 mg/kg bw

AOEL: 0.02 mg/kg bw per day

As the AOEL was lowered, acceptability of exposure scenarios needs to be confirmed for each plant protection product.

No amendment of the Dutch national authorisation is triggered by the results of this re-evaluation.

PART A – Risk Management

This document describes the acceptable use conditions required for the re-registration of Pokon Onkruid Weg ! containing 2,4-D which was included into Annex I of Directive 91/414 on 01/01/2009 by EU Directive 2008/69/EC and was renewed and included to the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 on 13/11/2015 by EU Commission Implementing Regulation 2015/2033, respectively and dicamba which was included into Annex I of Directive 91/414 on 13/11/2015 by EU Commission Implementing Regulation 2015/2033, respectively, in The Netherlands.

The risk assessment conclusions are based on the information, data and assessments provided in Registration Report, Part B Sections 1-7 and Part C and where appropriate the addendum for The Netherlands. The information, data and assessments provided in Registration Report, Parts B includes assessment of further data or information as required at national re-registration by the EU review. It also includes assessment of data and information relating to Pokon Onkruid Weg ! where that data has not been considered in the EU review. Otherwise assessments for the safe use of Pokon Onkruid Weg ! have been made using endpoints agreed in the EU reviews of 2,4-D and dicamba.

As this re-assessment was triggered by the renewal of 2,4-D, only the relevant sections for 2,4-D have been evaluated in the current assessment and sections referring to combitox of both active sustances.

Sections relevant for only dicamba have not been assessed and will be taken up once the renewal of dicamba has been decided on.

This document describes the specific conditions of use and labelling required for The Netherlands for the re-registration/registration of Pokon Onkruid Weg !.

Appendix 1 of this document is a copy of the approved product label for The Netherlands.

3 Risk management

3.1 Reasoned statement of the overall conclusions taken in accordance with the Uniform Principles

3.1.1 Physical and chemical properties (Part B, Section 1, Points 2 and 4)

Overall Summary: The product Pokon Onkruid Weg ! is a granular formulation. All studies have been performed in accordance with the current requirements for GR formulations and the results are deemed to be acceptable. The appearance of the product is that of a free-flowing opague/beige and white solid granule. It is not explosive, has no oxidising properties and it is not flammable and has no auto-flammable properties. The pH value of a 1% dilution is between 3.73 and 3.85. The product has a pour density of 0.92 g/mL and a tab density of 1.03 g/mL. The stability data after 14 days at 54˚C in LDPE, 8 weeks at 40˚C in LDPE and Cardboard/LDPE and 2 year at ambient temperature in LDPE and Cardboard/LDPE indicate a shelf life of 2 years in LDPE and cardboard/LDPE. These results can be extrapolated to the applied for packaging LDPE/paper/cardboard, PP and HDPE as LDPE (or Cardboard/LDPE) is considered worst-case.

It should however be noticed that the original analytical method (FAM207) to determine the active substance content of 2,4-D and dicamba in the formulation, used in the storage stability study for 14 days at 54˚C and 8 weeks at 40˚C and 2 year shelf-life at ambient temperature (Cems-4991), did not perform adequate. Therefore the content of the active substance 2,4-D was not determined correctly. A high variability in the results of the analytical method was observed due to the fact no hydrolysis step was used in the extraction to convert all possible formed esters coming from 2,4-D. Therefore a new analytical method (CEM-3563/001) was developed with an hydrolysis step to determine (more exact) the active substance content in the formulation. Only the samples after 2 year storage at ambient temperature (Cems-6050) were re-analysed with this new method. The results could not be compared to the initial results, as these were determined with the ‘old’ analytical method (FAM207). However it was concluded that, based on the increase of the content of the 2,4-D (after 2 year storage) compared to the content determined with the ‘old’ method, the stability was shown after 2 year shelf-life at ambient temperature study in LDPE and Cardboard/LDPE.

Its technical characteristics are acceptable for a GR formulation.

Implications for labelling: None

Compliance with FAO specifications: The product Pokon Onkruid Weg ! complies with FAO specifications.

Nature and characteristics of the packaging: Information with regard to type, dimensions, capacity, size of opening, type of closure, strength, leakproofness, resistance to normal transport & handling, resistance to & compatibility with the contents of the packaging, have been submitted, evaluated and is considered to be acceptable.

Nature and characteristics of the protective clothing and equipment: Information regarding the required protective clothing and equipment for the safe handling of Pokon Onkruid Weg ! has been provided and is considered to be acceptable.

3.1.2 Methods of analysis (Part B, Section 2, Point 5)

3.1.2.1 Analytical method for the formulation (Part B, Section 2, Point 5.2)

The analytical method (FAM207) for the determination of the active substances 2,4-D and dicamba in the formulation was fully validated according to SANCO/3030/99 rev. 4. However, this method did not perform sufficient, as the 2,4-D content was not determined correctly, due to the fact no hydrolysis step was used in the extraction to convert all possible formed esters coming from 2,4-D. Therefore a new analytical method (CEM-3563/001) for determination of both a.s. 2,4-D and dicamba in the formulation was developed with a hydrolysis step included and is provided and is fully validated according to SANCO/3030/99 rev. 4..

No CIPAC method is available for the determination of the active substances 2,4-D and dicamba in GR- formulation.

In technical 2,4-D the relevant impurities free phenols and the sum of dioxins and furans (expressed as WHO-TCDD TEQ) are identified. As these relevant impurities will not increase (or formed) during manufacturing and storage of the formulation the content before and after storage does not have to be determined. As 2,4-D is an AIR II renewal substance, the old data requirements still apply and therefore according Reg. (EU) 545/2011 no analytical method have to be provided if no relevant impurities will be formed during manufacturing and storage of the formulation.

Technical dicamba does not contain any relevant impurities and therefore no analytical methods for the determination of the relevant impurities is required.

3.1.2.2 Analytical methods for residues (Part B, Section 2, Points 5.3 – 5.8) Methods in crops are not relevant for this type of use (lawn).

For residues in soil, water and air all analytical methods are active substance data and were provided in the EU review of 2,4-D and dicamba and found acceptable.

3.1.3 Mammalian Toxicology (Part B, Section 3, Point 7)

3.1.3.1 Acute Toxicity (Part B, Section 3, Point 7.1)

The results of the animal tests for Pokon Onkruid Weg ! are summarised in the table below. The formulation is of low acute oral and dermal toxicity. Pokon Onkruid Weg ! is a granule of approximately 0.5-2.5 mm diameter and is a dust-free formulation. It does not contain >1 % w/w of particles of a diameter <50 µm and thus an inhalation study is not required.

3.1.3.2 Operator Exposure (Part B, Section 3, Point 7.3)

Operator exposure to Pokon Onkruid Weg ! was not evaluated as part of the EU review of any of the active substances containing the plant protection product (2,4-D and dicamba) for this submitted rate/crop. Therefore all relevant data and risk assessments have been provided and are considered to be adequate.

Operator exposure was assessed against the AOEL agreed in the EU review of dicamba (0.3 mg/kg bw/day) and in the Revised Renewal report for the active substance 2,4-D (0.02 mg/kg bw/day). No safe use could be demonstrated by the zRMS using the default values of the Guidance on Dermal Absorption (EFSA Journal 2012;10(4):2665). Therefore, the default values from the more recent Guidance on Dermal Absorption (EFSA Journal 2017;15(6):4873) of 10% for the concentrate is used in the risk assessment by the zRMS.

As described in the previous paragraph, based on the risk assessment performed with the EFSA model as presented in the core dossier, adverse health effects after dermal and respiratory exposure to 2,4-D and dicamba cannot be excluded for the unprotected non-professional operator. However, in the risk assessment, zRMS used default values for dermal absorption of 75%, which are generally considered as worst-case leading to an overestimation of the risk. Therefore, the zRMS refined the risk assessment using the default values for dermal absorption according to the 2017 EFSA Guidance on dermal Absorption of 10%. However, the operator exposure still exceeds 100% of the AOEL using the EFSA OPEX model (6561%) or UK PHED model (239%) without PPE.

A further refinement using the Puffer Pack model and UPJ model was performed by the zRMS, demonstrating a safe use for the non-professional operator without the use of PPE. However, these models are not considered acceptable by the Netherlands as these models are either not harmonized (UPJ model) or not applicable for manual spreading of granules (Puffer Pack model).

However, it is not expected that due to exposure to 2,4-D and dicamba as a result of the application of Pokon Onkruid Weg ! an unacceptable risk occurs for the unprotected non-professional operator:

- the default dermal absorption value (10%) is still considered to be too worst-case. Experience with other formulations containing 2,4-D and dicamba shows that the dermal absorption values are much lower; which would lead to safe use (UK PHED model) and;

- Austria performed the risk assessment in the core dossier and concluded a safe use without PPE based on the Puffer Pack model (with limited applicability) and the UPJ model (not harmonized).

Therefore, no adverse health effects are expected for the unprotected non-professional operator after exposure to 2,4-D and dicamba as a result of the application of Pokon Onkruid Weg !. This conclusion is also valid for the simultaneous exposure to both active substances in this product. This is in line with the conclusion taken in the core dossier, therefore The Netherlands (cMS) follows.

3.1.3.3 Bystander Exposure (Part B, Section 3, Point 7.4)

Bystander exposure to UKS 118A was not evaluated as part of the EU review of EU review of any of the active substances containing the plant protection product (2,4-D and dicamba). Therefore, all relevant data and risk assessments have been provided and are considered adequate. It is referred to the core dossier, where a risk assessment was performed for bystanders and residents (including re-entry on treated lawns) using the EFSA model. It is concluded that there is no undue risk to any bystander or resident after accidental exposure to Pokon Onkruid Weg !. This conclusion is also valid using the adapted AOEL for 2,4-D and considering combined exposure to 2,4-D and dicamba.

3.1.3.4 Worker Exposure (Part B, Section 3, Point 7.5)

Worker exposure has not been estimated. The bystander exposure is considered in this case as a worst case and the worker exposure is covered by the bystander exposure assessment. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is no unacceptable risk anticipated for the unprotected worker when re-entering to the area treated with Pokon Onkruid Weg !. This conclusion is also valid using the adapted AOEL for 2,4-D and considering combined exposure to 2,4-D and dicamba.

3.1.4 Residues and Consumer Exposure (Part B, Section 4, Point 8)

3.1.4.1 Residues (Part B, Section 4, Points 8.3 and 8.7)

UKS 118A is not intended for use on food crops. Since application is only on lawn (Home & garden) residues are not relevant.

3.1.4.2 Consumer exposure (Part B, Section 4, Point 8.10)

UKS 118A is not intended for use on food crops. Since application is only on lawn (Home & garden) residues are not relevant.

3.1.5 Environmental fate and behaviour (Part B, Section 5, Point 9)

Appropriate endpoints from the EU review were used to calculate PECs for 2,4-D and its metabolites in soil, surface water, ground water and air for the intended use patterns. The following was mentioned by zRMS in the Core dossier: The active substance Dicamba is not yet renewed. As EU (interzonally) agreed, the substance related sections are not reviewed by the zRMS. The review will be performed once the active is renewed. Therefore, in the Core dossier and NL Addendum, only the substance 2.4-D and its metabolites have been taken into account. PECs values for active substance dicamba have been included in the risk assessment with regards to the ecotoxicological aspect.

3.1.5.1 Predicted Environmental Concentration in Soil (PEC

soil

) (Part B, Section 5, Points 9.4 and 9.5)

The PEC of UKS 118A, 2,4-D, dicamba and their metabolites in soil has been assessed with the FOCUS model and the FOCUS groundwater interception values and the DT50 values established in the EU review.

Based on the recommended use rate of 200 kg product/ha, the maximum initial predicted environmental concentration in soil (PECs) of 2,4-D and dicamba will be 0.533 mg/kg and 0.080 mg/kg, respectively.

For the metabolites 2,4-DCP, 2,4-DCA and DCSA, the proposed use pattern will lead to maximum initial PECs of 0.0342 mg/kg, 0.0641 mg/kg and 0.0562 mg/kg, respectively, which is acceptable according to the uniform principles.

The results for PEC soil for the active substance and its metabolites were used for the eco-toxicological risk assessment.

3.1.5.2 Predicted Environmental Concentration in Ground Water (PEC

GW

) (Part B, Section 5, Point 9.6)

The PEC of 2,4-D and its metabolites in ground water has been assessed with standard FOCUS scenarios to obtain outputs from the FOCUS PELMO, FOCUS PEARL and FOCUS MACRO models and the Koc

values established in the EU review, including the for NL relevant Kremsmünster scenario.

The predicted environmental concentrations (PECGW) at 1m depth for active substances following 26 years use on grass/alfalfa at 200 kg product/ha with 75 % foliar interception, were less than 0.01 µg/L in the Kremsmünster scenario using FOCUS PEARL 4.4.4. The potential for the metabolites 2,4-DCP and 2,4-DCA to leach to groundwater has been assessed in the same way. As the assessment is requested for non-professional use, the dose rate should have been corrected to match a maximum acreage of 500 m2. However the full dose rate was applied in the PECgw calculations as a conservative approach.

The models predict that the active substance and its metabolites will not be found in ground water at concentrations greater than 0.1 μg/L. Based on the assessment, the use of UKS 118A is not expected to lead to leaching into groundwater at levels that would be unacceptable when applied according to the recommended use pattern.

Active substance 2,4-D

The active substance 2,4-D was observed in the groundwater [RIVM Report 607310001/2007].

Regarding the presence of metabolite 2,4-DCA no monitoring data are available.

Monitoring data were collected in 2006 in the framework of groundwater monitoring for the WFD starting situation (so-called nulmeting) in the Dutch provinces Drenthe, Flevoland, Friesland, Gelderland, Groningen, Noord-Holland, Overijssel, Utrecht and Zeeland.

In Table 3.1.5.2-1 observed concentrations in groundwater are presented.

3.1.5.3 Predicted Environmental Concentration in Surface Water (PEC

SW

) (Part B, Section 5, Points 9.7 and 9.8)

As the application concerns granular application, no drift will occur, and therefore no PECsw/sed values have been calculated.

Monitoring data surface water

In 2015, version 3 of the Pesticide Atlas was launched, which includes a statistical correlation analysis between concentrations, threshold exceedance and land use, which may indicate probable relationships. In this version also the correlation analysis of land use with the environmental quality standards (EQS) of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) is included.

Data from the Pesticide Atlas are used to evaluate potential exceedances of the authorisation threshold and environmental quality standards (MKN in Dutch, data source http://www.rivm.nl/rvs/Normen). These environmental quality standards consist either of the harmonised WFD thresholds derived according to the Fraunhofer methodology1 (AA-EQS and MAC-EQS) or of an MPC value (which is usually derived on the basis of outdated guidance). When EQS values according to the Water Framework Directive are available, the MPC value is not used further in the analysis of monitoring data for the purpose of the registration.

Drinking water criterion

It follows from the decision of the Court of Appeal on Trade and Industry of 19 August 2005 (Awb 04/37 (General Administrative Law Act)) that when considering an application, the Ctgb should, on the basis of the scientific and technical knowledge and taking into account the data submitted with the application, also judge the application according to the drinking water criterion ‘surface water intended for drinking water production’.

The assessment methodology followed is developed by the WG implementation drinking water criterion and outlined in Alterra report 16352.

Substances are categorized as new substances on the Dutch market (less than 3 years authorisation) or existing substances on the Dutch market (authorised for more than 3 years).

- For new substances, a pre-registration calculation is performed.

- For existing substances, the assessment is based on monitoring data of Vewin (drinking water board).

o If for an existing substance based on monitoring data no problems are expected by Vewin, Ctgb follows this Vewin assessment.

o If for an existing substance based on monitoring data a potential problem is identified by Vewin, Ctgb assesses whether the 90th percentile of the monitoring data meet the

drinking water criterion at each individual drinking water abstraction point.

2,4-D has been on the Dutch market for > 3 years (authorised since 29-10-1989). This period is sufficiently large to consider the market share to be established. The existing active substance 2,4-D is included in the list of substances of concern due to its presence in surface water at drinking water abstraction points as established by Vewin/Ctgb. Therefore, an adequate risk assessment is needed based on the highest tier data. There are monitoring data concerning the presence of 2,4-D at drinking water abstraction points. See Table 3.1.5.3-2.

The relevant monitoring data (data set Vewin, 2011-2015) indicate that the overall 90-percentile at individual drinking water abstraction points is ≤ 0.1 μg/L.

Therefore, the application of UKS 118A is not expected to exceed the drinking water criterion.

3.1.6.1 Effects on Terrestrial Vertebrates (Part B, Section 6, Points 10.1 and 10.3)

Birds

Effects on birds for UKS 118A were not evaluated as part of the EU reviews of active substances.

However further data on UKS 118A is not relevant as active substance data on toxicity to birds is used and additional formulation data are not considered essential. Therefore all relevant data were assessed in the EU review. Risk assessments for UKS 118A with the proposed use pattern have been provided and are considered adequate.

The risk assessment for effects on birds is carried out according to the new guidance document of European Food Safety Authority, “Guidance Document on Risk Assessment for Birds & Mammals on request from EFSA. EFSA Journal 20093”.

The acute and long-term risks of UKS 118A to birds were assessed from toxicity exposure ratios between toxicity endpoints, estimated from studies with active substances, and maximum residues occurring on food items following applications according to the proposed use pattern. For birds, the geometric mean LD50 = 544.6 mg/kg bw was used in a higher-tier assessment.

Risk of secondary poisoning has also been assessed when relevant.

The TER values, calculated for recommended scenarios including combination toxicity, all exceed the trigger values of 10 for acute and short-term risk and 5 for long-term risk (including secondary poisoning), thus indicating no unacceptable risk to birds from the proposed use.

Note- The product will in fact be available for birds for acute exposure (e.g. at least for several hours after application) unless a sentence requiring immediate watering of the lawns and grass vegetation is included on the WG.

On the current label it is stated: “if no rain falls within 2 days, water the lawn thoroughly so that the lawn food starts to work”. This sentence was also mentioned on the label of the previous authorization of Pokon onkruid weg (Landscaper : 20120046 THG) and is as follows:

Eén of twee dagen na toepassing moet het gras met water besproeid worden.

Terrestrial vertebrates (other than birds)

Effects on terrestrial vertebrates other than birds for UKS 118A were not evaluated as part of the EU reviews of active substances. However further data on UKS 118A is not relevant as active substance data on toxicity to terrestrial vertebrates other than birds is used and additional formulation data are not considered essential. Therefore all relevant data were assessed in the EU review. Risk assessments for UKS 118A with the proposed use pattern are provided and are considered adequate.

The acute and long-term risks of UKS 118A to wild mammals were assessed from toxicity exposure ratios between toxicity endpoints, estimated from studies with active substances, and maximum residues occurring on food items following applications according to the use pattern. Acute risk to voles and lagomorphs was refined using critical body burden modelling. Long-term risk to voles and lagomorphs was refined using a refined DT50 value of 0.29, a corrected application rate of 10% (for non-professional applications) and 75% interception.

Risk of secondary poisoning has also been assessed when relevant.

The TER values, calculated for recommended scenarios including combination toxicity, all exceed the trigger values of 10 for acute and short-term risk and 5 for long-term risk (including secondary poisoning), thus indicating no unacceptable risk to mammals from the proposed use.

The following sentence was proposed by the applicant and will be placed on the Dutch label:

3.1.6.2 Effects on Aquatic Species (Part B, Section 6, Point 10.2)

Effects on aquatic organisms for UKS 118A were not evaluated as part of the EU review of active substances. However further data on UKS 118A is not relevant as active substance data on toxicity to aquatic organisms is used and additional formulation data are not considered essential. Therefore all relevant data were assessed in the EU review. Risk assessments for UKS 118A with the proposed use pattern are provided here and are considered.

The worst-case PEC values for the active substances and their metabolites do not exceed the relevant RAC values, indicating that these active substances and their metabolites do not pose an unacceptable risk to aquatic organisms following applications of UKS 118A according to the recommended use pattern.

The acute toxicity of the formulation was determined by calculation based on the classification of the components of the product according to the Regulation 1272/2008/EC.

Following the classification by calculation according to Regulation 1272/2008, UKS 118A was determined to not be classified in the aquatic compartment.

Effects on bees for UKS 118A were not evaluated as part of the EU review of active substances. However further data on UKS 118A is not relevant as active substance data on toxicity to bees is used and additional formulation data are not considered essential. Therefore all relevant data were assessed in the EU review. Risk assessments for UKS 118A with the proposed use pattern were provided and are considered adequate.

The risks of UKS 118A to honey-bees was assessed from hazard quotients between toxicity endpoints, estimated from acute oral and contact studies with active ingredient and formulated product, and the maximum single application rate of 200 kg product/ha.

All the hazard quotients are considerably less than 50, indicating that the active ingredients pose a low risk to bees. Therefore a low risk to bees is expected from the application of UKS 118A according to the recommended use pattern.

Other non-target arthropods

Effects on non-target arthropods for UKS 118A were not evaluated as part of the EU review of active substances. However further data on UKS 118A is not relevant as active substance data on toxicity to arthropods other than bees is used and additional formulation data are not considered essential. Therefore all relevant data were assessed in the EU review. Risk assessments for UKS 118A with the proposed use pattern were provided and are considered adequate.

Tier I in-field assessments indicated no potential risk to non-target arthropods. The field rate values are less than the LR50 value indicating that the risk to in-field non target arthropods is acceptable following use of UKS 118A according to the proposed use pattern.

Drift rate values were not calculated because UKS118A is in the form of granules. It is unlikely that non target arthropods will be off-crop exposed.

3.1.6.4 Effects on Earthworms and Other Soil Marco-organisms (Part B, Section 6, Point 10.6)

Effects on earthworms and other soil macro-organisms for UKS 118A were not evaluated as part of the EU review of active substances. However further data on UKS 118A is not relevant as active substance data on toxicity to earthworms and other soil macro-organisms is used and additional formulation data are not considered essential. Therefore all relevant data were assessed in the EU review. Risk assessments for UKS 118A with the proposed use pattern were provided and are considered adequate.

Earthworms

The acute and long-term risk of UKS 118A to earthworms was assessed from acute and long-term toxicity exposure ratios (TERs) between the selected toxicity endpoints for the active ingredient and relevant metabolites, and the maximum soil PECs.

The acute and chronic TER values for active substances and metabolites are greater to than the Annex IV triggers of 10 and 5, respectively, indicating an acceptable risk to earthworms following application of UKS 118A for the proposed use.

Effects on other soil non-target macro-organisms

The risk of UKS 118A to other non-target soil macro-organisms, as represented by Collembola and soil mite, was assessed from toxicity exposure ratios (TERs) between the toxicity endpoints and the maximum soil PECs.

The TER value is greater than the recommended trigger of 5, indicating no unacceptable risk to soil macro-organisms as represented by Folsomia candida and Hypoaspis aculeifer following application of UKS 118A for the proposed use.

Therefore all relevant data were assessed in the EU review. Risk assessments for UKS 118A with the proposed use pattern have been provided and are considered adequate.

UKS 118A exhibits herbicidal action to control annual and perennial broad-leaved weed species, post- emergence, in grassland and turf.

2,4-D is known to be phytotoxic to most broad-leaved crops, especially cotton, vines, tomatoes, ornamentals, oilseed rape and beet. Dicamba is phytotoxic to most legumes.

With respect to effects on fauna, it has been demonstrated in the studies on mammals, birds, fish, arthropods and other species included in this dossier that UKS 118A does not pose an unacceptable level of risk to non-target species.

Non-target plants are not relevant, because intended use is on turf only. Granules are applied by hand or spreader and side-effects by wind or by impression of the spreader are negligible.

Implications for labelling resulting from ecotoxicological assessment:

The following sentence was proposed by the applicant and will be placed on the Dutch label:

Eén of twee dagen na toepassing moet het gras met water besproeid worden.
