Product registrations which once contained active ingredients /incl malachite green/ have previously been amended to remove the ingredient from the formula or have been cancelled for other reasons. ... These ingredients will be removed from Reregistration List D effective 90 days after publication of this notice ... and will not be considered further for reregistration.

As the federal pesticide law FIFRA directs, EPA is conducting a comprehensive review of older pesticides to consider their health and environmental effects and make decisions about their future use. Under this pesticide reregistration program, EPA examines health and safety data for pesticide active ingredients initially registered before November 1, 1984, and determines whether they are eligible for reregistration. In addition, all pesticides must meet the new safety standard of the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996. Pesticides for which EPA had not issued Registration Standards prior to the effective date of FIFRA '88 were divided into three lists based upon their potential for human exposure and other factors, with List B containing pesticides of greater concern and List D pesticides of less concern. Malachite green is found on List D. Case No: 4011; Case Status: No products containing the pesticide are actively registered. Therefore, we are characterizing the case as "cancelled." Under FIFRA, pesticide producers may voluntarily cancel their registered products. EPA also may cancel pesticide registrations if registrants fail to pay required fees or make/meet certain reregistration commitments, or if EPA reaches findings of unreasonable adverse effects.; Active ingredient (AI): malachite green; AI Status: The active ingredient is no longer contained in any registered products ...

Malachite green had 0% biodegradation after 5 days using a sewage inoculum and the BOD5 test(1). However, ready biodegradability tests, i.e. static flask screening test, Warburg respirometer, and a semicontinuous flow activated sludge system, using acclimated wastewater from a malachite green-producing workshop resulted in a removal rate of greater than 70%, indicating ready biodegradability(2). A Mycobacterium sp has been shown to decolorize a 20 mg/ml solution of malachite green 53% in 2 hrs at 24 °C; the solution was completed decolorized in 22 hrs when incubated at 32 °C(4). The pH remained at 6.8 and the number of cells did not increase(3).

Coagulation with ferrous sulfate, ferric sulfate, and ferric chloride and treatment with ozone were tested for CI Basic Green 4 in wastewater. Effect of coagulation depended largely on pH of solution.

SRP: The most favorable course of action is to use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational exposure or environmental contamination. Recycle any unused portion of the material for its approved use or return it to the manufacturer or supplier. Ultimate disposal of the chemical must consider: the material's impact on air quality; potential migration in soil or water; effects on animal, aquatic, and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations.

A study was designed to (1) determine the type of filter and kind of carbon that was most efficient for removal of malachite green and (2) demonstrate that carbon filters can be used to remove malachite green from water used for egg incubation or to hold adult salmon before spawning. Minicolumn simulation studies showed that removing malachite green from water for 230 days at a flow rate of 500 gal/min for only 62 days at a flow rate of 1,000 gal/min. The removal capacity at the slower flow rate was 1.1 oz of malachite green per pound of carbon. A filter system that contained 20,000 lb of activated carbon in each of two chambers was effective for removal of malachite green from treated water in adult salmon holding ponds at flows of 500 gal/min (6.4 gal/min per sq ft) and greater. The removal efficiency was 99.8% after 105 hr of operation, and the adsorption capacity of the system was projected to be sufficient for 20 or more years of routine hatchery operation. A filter system that contained 2,000 lb of activated carbon in each of two chambers was effective for removal of malachite green from treated water in salmon egg incubation units at the designated flow rate of 50 gal/min (4.0 gal/min per sq ft) and also at faster flow rates. Removal efficiency decreased only slightly for faster flows in both filter systems, and the efficiency improved when treated water was passed through two filter chambers in series.

SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses in industry is conflicting. The benefit or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Malachite green is a cationic dye(1) and cations generally adsorb more strongly to organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts Volatilization of malachite green from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.9X10-14 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), using a fragment constant estimation method(2). Malachite green is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 2.4X10-13 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(3). A 0% degradation in 5 days using a sewage inoculum and the BOD5 test indicates(4) that biodegradation is not expected to be an important fate process in soil(SRC).

AQUATIC FATE: Malachite green is a cationic dye(1) and cations adsorb more strongly to organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(2). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.9X10-14 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(4). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from its log Kow(6) and a regression-derived equation(7), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). A 0% degradation in 5 days using a sewage inoculum and the BOD5 test indicates(8) that biodegradation is not expected to be an important fate process in water(SRC).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), malachite green, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 2.4X10-13 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), as determined from a fragment constant method(2), is expected to exist solely in the particulate phase in the ambient atmosphere. Particulate-phase malachite green may be removed from the air by wet and dry deposition(SRC). Since malachite green absorbs light at 617 nm)(3), it has the potential for direct photolysis.

Malachite green was not detected in 92 of 92 samples of farmed fish analyzed between October 1987 through February 1989, as part of the United Kingdom National Surveillance Scheme of home-produced and imported meat, meat products, and fish(1).

/AQUATIC SPECIES/ Fingerling channel catfish were exposed to 0.1 mg/L, neutrophilia at 1 & 3 days after treatment was observed. Increases in erythrocyte counts, hemoglobin concentration & hemoblast percentages 3 days after treatment; erythrocytosis after 7 days; hematocrit increases, 14 days; & leukopenia after 21 days.

/AQUATIC SPECIES/ Prophylactic dip treatments using formalin and malachite green were applied to 4-day old larvae and 12- and 20-day old juveniles of the European common carp, Cyprinus carpio and the African sharptooth catfish, Clarias gariepinus. Treatments consisted of 100 mg/L malachite green for exposure periods of 10, 30 or 90 s and 200 mg/L formalin administered for 30, 60 or 90 min. Larvae and juveniles of Clarias gariepinus could be treated with 100 mg/L malachite green for 10 s, or with 200 mg/L formalin for 30 min, with minimum mortalities. Both chemicals affected the survival of the Clarias gariepinus juveniles, especially the 90 min exposure to formalin. Juveniles of both species were sensitive to 100 mg/L malachite green concentrations.

/AQUATIC SPECIES/ ...Rainbow trout eggs were treated during incubation with 5 mg/L of malachite green oxalate either every two days, or weekly. Mortality was minimal in the group treated with malachite green/formalin mixture. Residuesof malachite green in fish tissue were significantly greater in the fish treated with 5 mg/L of malachite green (both regimes) than in the fish treated with malachite green/formalin mixture. The residue levels in fry were directly related to the treatment concentration and frequency of treatments during egg incubation.

/AQUATIC SPECIES/ Exposure of the freshwater catfish H. fossilis to an acute concentration of 0.20 mg dm-3 (1/5th of 4 days LC50) of malachite green for 4 days evoked hepatic and muscle glycogenolysis with concomitant hyperglycemia and chloremia. Exposure of fish to sub-acute 0.10 mg dm-3 (1/10th of 4 days LC50) and sub-lethal 0.05 mg dm-3 (1/20th of 4 days LC50) concentrations of the dye also evoked a significant increase in blood glucose and chloride levels at short (10-20 days) and long (30-60 days) term as well as liver and muscle glycogenolysis at short term.

Malachite Green

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated for malachite green(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.62(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

The Henry's Law constant for malachite green is estimated as 1.9X10-14 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that malachite green is expected to be essentially nonvolatile from water surfaces(2). Malachite green's Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces is unlikely to occur(SRC). Malachite green is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 2.4X10-13 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(3).

... The mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinase signal transduction pathway in preneoplastic cells induced by MG /was studied/. Western blots of MG /Malachite Green/ induced preneoplastic cells showed no phosphorylation of ERK1, an increased phosphoactive ERK2 associated with a decreased expression of phosphoactive JNK2. However, total forms of ERKs, JNKs and p38 Kinases showed similar levels of expression in control and preneoplastic SHE /Syrian hamster embryo/ cells. Indirect immunofluorescence studies have shown a distinct nuclear localisation of phosphoactive ERKs in MG induced preneoplastic cells. Flow cytometric analysis showed an increase of S-phase cells in preneoplastic cells compared to control SHE cells.

... In order to understand the mechanism(s) of tumor promotion by MY /Metanil yellow/ and MG /malachite green/, we have studied the levels of PCNA, a marker of cell proliferation and cell cycle regulatory proteins, cyclin D1, and its associated kinase, cdk4, cyclin B1, and associated kinase, cdc2. Immunohistochemical staining showed an elevated level of PCNA in animals administered MY and MG subsequent to DEN /N-nitrosodiethylamine/ treatment. Western and Northern blot hybridization showed an increased expression of both cyclin D1 and its associated kinase cdk4, and cyclin B1 and its associated kinase cdc2, in livers of rats administered MY and MG after administration of DEN as compared to untreated or DEN controls. The increased level of mRNA was due to the increased rate of transcription of these genes as studied by run-on transcription assay.

The disposition of malachite green was determined in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) after intravascular dosing (0.8 mg/kg) or waterborne exposure (0.8 mg/L for 1 hr). After intravascular dosing, mean plasma concentrations of the parent compound exhibited a triphasic decline with a terminal elimination half-life of 6.2 hr. Malachite green was rapidly absorbed and concentrated in the tissues during waterborne exposure. The rate of accumulation was directly related to pH of the exposure water. After waterborne exposure, elimination of the parent compound from plasma also was triphasic with a terminal half-life of 4.7 hr. In muscle, the half-life of the parent compound was approximately 67 hr. Malachite green and its metabolites were widely distributed in all tissues. In fish exposed to 14C-labeled malachite green, total drug equivalent concentrations were highest in abdominal fat and lowest in plasma. Malachite green was rapidly and extensively metabolized to its reduced form, leucomalachite green, which was slowly eliminated from the tissues. Leucomalachite green is an appropriate target analyte for monitoring exposure of channel catfish to this drug.

... A 6-day-lasting therapeutic bath of rainbow trout was performed in malachite green of 0.2 mg/L concentration. Its residues were then observed in muscle, liver and skin of treated fish. Immediately after the bath, malachite green was detected in muscle, liver and skin at the levels of 0.383, 0.834 and 0.649 mg/kg, respectively, as a sum of both coloured form and leukoform. Eight weeks after the bath, an expressive decrease of the coloured form of malachite green was found while its leukoform was detected in fish as late as after 10 months. Results of analyses were found negative twelve months after the bath.
