4. gowan co llc hexythiazox The EPA Peer Review Committee completed its evaluation of hexythiazox with respect to its oncogenic potential and concluded that the data available for hexythiazox provide limited evidence of oncogenicity for the chemical in mice. According to EPA Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (Federal Register September 24, 1986) the Committee classified hexythiazox as a Category C oncogen (possible human carcinogen with limited evidence of carcinogenicity in animals). The decision supporting a Category C classification (rather than a Category B classification) was based primarily on the fact that only one species was affected (mouse), mutagenicity assays did not support upgrading to a B classification and the structure-activity relationship of hexythiazox to other compounds supported a C classification. i do not believe america needs thousands of chemical approved. i also oppose any increase in residue on plants. i believe the only residue on plants should be 00000000000.0000000000000. also no testing has been done on possible negative effects from combinannts.
