据欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，2024年10月25日，欧盟食品安全局就活性物质铁元素（elemental iron）的农药风险评估发布同行评审。
经过评估，这些结论是在对铁元素在田间和温室(永久性和非永久性建筑)中的代表性用途进行评估的基础上得出的，通过在所有食用和非食用作物、观赏植物和休闲草地上施用颗粒来控制软体动物。欧盟食品安全局提出了适用于监管风险评估的可靠端点，列出了监管框架要求的缺失信息。部分原文报道如下：
The conclusions of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authority of the rapporteur Member State Austria for the pesticide active substance elemental iron and the considerations as regards the inclusion of the substance in Annex IV of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 are reported. The context of the peer review was that required by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative uses of elemental iron in field and greenhouses (permanent and non-permanent structures) via granule application by spreading on all edible and non-edible crops, ornamental plants and amenity grassland to control molluscs. The reliable endpoints, appropriate for use in regulatory risk assessment, are presented. Missing information identified as being required by the regulatory framework is listed.
