Most of the E-PRTR pesticides are not in use anymore: Simazine, DDT, Lindane, Mirex, Aldrin, Dieldrin, Endrin and Isodrin are banned under the Stockholm POP convention, Isoproturon was banned in 2016, respectively. Still in use, but also restricted are Chlordane and Diuron, respectively. Additionally, a substance banned as pesticide might be still used as a biocide, if the approval of the biocide usage group is not finalised, in which this substance is included in one of the products.

Chlordane is not approved as a PPP or biocidal active substance.

Suggest to delete "if the approval of the biocide usage group is not finalised, in which this substance is included in one of the products."

UBA-IV1.3: According to EU Pesticide Database Chlordane is not approved and the approval of Diuron will expire in September 2020 (no renewal). Diuron is approved and frequently used as biocide.

How can a facility emit substances that are not "in use" anymore? This is not fully clear to me.
