“Until 1991, paraformaldehyde was also registered for control decontamination of laboratories and experimental animal facilities. However, all registrations for this use and many of the other uses described above were canceled due to nonpayment of registration maintenance fees by the manufacturer.

Subsequently, only two products remain registered. Since the laboratory use of paraformaldehyde has not been registered since 1991 and no alternatives are available, EPA has also issued several quarantine exemptions (and usually renews them every three years) to continue this use for specific federal agencies:

a.United States Department of Agriculture ( USDA) for use of paraformaldehyde in a poultry health laboratory in Arkansas;
b.U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) for laboratory decontamination; and
c.USDA to decontaminate high-containment microbiological laboratories at Plum Island, NY, and Ames, IA.”

And what kind of “scientist” are you exactly, if I may ask?

Not sure what the point was on your post.

I asked how many grams were listed. You replied with info I have already demonstrated knowledge of. ???

I am not an expert in this field and don’t claim to be. I’ve worked with FIFRA, but with agricultural compounds, and the publications peripherally with this topic had to do with supporting some toxicity research nearly 3 decades ago. The lab work I’ve done has been in chemical or physical labs, not biological.
