SUMMARY Hazard alerts

The following Pesticide Hazard Tricolour (PHT) alerts are based on the data in the tables below. An absence of an alert does not imply the substance has no implications for human health, biodiversity or the environment but just that we do not have the data to form a judgement. The alerts for Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs) are based on applying the FAO/WHO (Type 1) and the PAN (Type II) criteria to PPDB data. Further details on the HHP indicators are given in the tables below. Neither the PHT nor the HHP hazard alerts take account of usage patterns or exposure, thus they do not represent risk.

PHT: Environmental fate	PHT: Ecotoxicity	PHT: Human health	Highly Hazardous Pesticide
	Ecotoxicity Moderate alert: Birds acute ecotoxicity: Moderate; Fish acute ecotoxicity: Moderate; Daphnia acute ecotoxicity: Moderate; Daphnia chronic ecotoxicity: Moderate; Bees acute contact ecotoxicity: Moderate; Bees acute oral ecotoxicity: Moderate; Earthworms acute ecotoxicity: Moderate	Human health Low alert Warning: Significant data are missing	Highly Hazardous Pesticide (HHP) Type II alert

Formulation and application details
Often supplied as a soluble concentrate but also available as concentrated suspensions, wettable dispersible granules and wettable powders.
Commercial production
Bordeaux mixture is commercially produced by combining copper(II) sulphate and hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide) in water. This reaction creates a suspension of copper hydroxide and calcium sulphate. The process involves dissolving copper sulphate in water, slaking quicklime with water to create a lime slurry, and then carefully mixing the two solutions.
Impact on climate of production and use
Data on GHG emissions for the commercial production of Bordeaux mixture will vary significantly depending on the processes involved. Manica, a leading producer of Bordeaux mixture, has conducted a detailed carbon footprint and concluded that less than 1 kg of CO2e per kg of finished product is emitted. This includes emissions from raw materials, transportation, production, and packaging. Notably, however, the company uses regenerated copper sourced 100% from Itay, which significantly reduces the environmental cost.
