ERMA revokes approvals for use of toxic pesticide

The Environmental Risk Management Authority has revoked approvals for the use of the pesticide methyl parathion in New Zealand. Methyl parathion is a broad-spectrum organophosphate pesticide effective against insects and mites. Formulations containing methyl parathion were first registered for use in New Zealand in 1961 but no products have been registered since 2004.
