Pesticide Active or Inert Ingredients Containing PFAS
The following active ingredients have preliminarily been identified as PFAS based on available information and will be updated as more ingredients are screened.
The MDA is applying the 15 U.S. Code § 8931(2)(B) definition of “fully fluorinated carbon” in its preliminary review:
The term “fully fluorinated carbon atom” means a carbon atom on which all the hydrogen substituents have been replaced by fluorine.
Pesticide Inert Ingredients
The MDA has begun reviewing all pesticide inert ingredients present in the EPA’s InertFinder database; however, a list of chemicals meeting the SF 1955 definition of PFAS is not yet available. Consistent with its review of pesticide active ingredients, the MDA plans to start screening available molecular formulas and proceed to individual structure reviews. Additional exclusionary criteria may be identified and applied throughout the review process.
Pesticide Active Ingredients
The MDA completed a preliminary screening of all pesticide active ingredients registered in Minnesota in June 2023 (based on registration data from the National Pesticide Information Retrieval System). Over 90 active ingredients were identified as meeting the SF 1955 definition of PFAS (see table). This list is subject to change upon further evaluation or consultation with experts.
Preliminary list of pesticide active ingredients registered in Minnesota that meet the Minnesota SF 1955 definition of PFAS. (Updated 2/8/2024)
