Qantas to pay $100K fine for shipments of unregistered disinfectants
The US Environmental Protection Agency said Thursday Qantas has agreed to pay a $100,000 civil penalty as part of a settlement for illegally importing unregistered products to Honolulu and Los Angeles. The Australia-based airline violated a federal pesticide law with multiple shipments of an unregistered product intended to disinfect drinking water to the United States, the EPA said. The airline also failed to notify EPA of a shipment of a cleaning disinfectant. "Unregistered imported pesticides can be harmful to public health and the environment," said EPA Pacific Southwest Regional Administrator John Busterud. <br/>
