II. Did EPA Approve the Application?
The Agency approved the applications after considering all required
data on risks associated with the proposed use of ``dipotassium
phosphate,'' ``dipotassium phosphonate,'' ``sucrose octanoate esters
[([alpha]-D-glucopyranosyl, [beta]-D-fructofuranosyl-octanoate), mono-,
di- and triesters of sucrose octanoate],'' ``sodium carbonate
peroxyhydrate,'' and ``rust Puccinia thlaspeos strain woad,'' and
information on social, economic, and environmental benefits to be
derived from use. Specifically, the Agency has considered the nature of
the chemical and its pattern of use, application methods and rates, and
level and extent of potential exposure. Based on these reviews, the
Agency was able to make basic health and safety determinations which
show that use of ``dipotassium phosphate,'' ``dipotassium
phosphonate,'' ``sucrose octanoate esters [([alpha]-D-glucopyranosyl,
[beta]-D-fructofuranosyl-octanoate), mono-, di- and triesters of
sucrose octanoate],'' ``sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate,'' and ``rust
Puccinia thlaspeos strain woad'' when used in accordance with
widespread and commonly recognized practice, will not generally cause
unreasonable adverse effects to the environment.
