Download or read book Pesticide Toxicology and International Regulation written by Timothy T. Marrs and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2004-04-21 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together key features of the toxicology and occupational hazards of pesticides and the way their use is regulated in the main trading regions of the world. There are chapters on each of the main groups of insecticides, namely organochlorines, anticholinesterases and pyrethrins and pyrethroids. The book also covers fungicides and herbicides, as well as more specialised agents such as microbial pesticides. The risks and hazards to humans are considered, both occupational and through the consumption of contaminated foodstuffs. Additionally, clinical aspects of pesticide poisoning are discussed. The possibility of harm from pesticide exposure has led to the development of national and international regulations governing the application of pesticides. The book describes the regulatory systems in three major economic areas: the North American Free Trade Area (USA, Canada and Mexico), the European Union and Japan. This book should be of interest to all individuals working on the development and application of pesticides anywhere in the world. All those involved in the manufacture, regulation and toxicology of pesticides should also benefit from reading this book.

Download or read book Toxicology of Pesticides written by Lucio G. Costa and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The protection of human health and food and fiber resources against the ravages of pests of many sorts is a continuous struggle by all people in the world. The use of chemical pesticides as an aid in this struggle is now also global. These chemicals are deliberately added to the environment for the purpose of killing or injuring some form of life. Because pesticides are generally less selectively toxic than would be desired, non-target species, including humans, must be protected from injury by these chemicals. This can only be achieved by thorough understanding of the comparative toxicology of these compounds, and by minimizing human (and other desirable species) exposure. The latter can only be achieved by sound regulatory policies that utilize scientific principles and data, properly tempered by both gaps in that data and sociologic and economic considerations. This book contains the proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Toxicology of Pesticides: Experimental, Clinical and Regulatory Perspectives" held in Riva del Garda on October 6-15, 1986. This NATO-ASI has been promoted by the School of Public Health and Community Medicine, University of Washington at Seattle, by the Institute of Pharmacological Sciences, University of Milano and by the Giovanni Lorenzini Foundation, and has been sponsored by both the Society of Toxicology (USA) and the Italian Society of Toxicology.

Download or read book The Complete Book of Pesticide Management written by Fred Whitford and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 2002-06-17 with total page 824 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exhaustive, definitive guide to the past, present, and future of pesticide management Pesticides provide myriad benefits but present a variety of risks. With definitive policies and requirements for pesticide review before a product enters the marketplace, with clear and precise labeling, and with good consumer education, however, pesticides can play an important role in maintaining the quality of life we enjoy. The Complete Book of Pesticide Management describes the step-by-step process by which industry and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reach a consensus on the relative risk that pesticides pose to people, wildlife, and water. While most books only skim the risk assessment process or are too technical for practical application, The Complete Book of Pesticide Management is at once technically sound and easy to understand. Fred Whitford's authoritative text links scientific information developed from pesticide testing programs with the safety and precautionary language commonly found on product labels. It describes how to communicate pesticide benefits and risks to the public and provides information on how to select pesticides and protect the professionals handling these chemicals. Risk assessment and risk communication are emphasized throughout. Contents include: * The Evolution of Pesticide Regulations: The Shift from Benefits to Risks * Epidemiology: Validating Human Risk Assessments * Pesticide Labels: The Convergence of Science, Public Policy, and User Responsibility * Environmental Site Assessments: Managing the Facility Against Contamination * Planning for Emergencies: Preventing and Reacting to Emergencies in the Workplace * Educating the Community and the Workforce About Hazardous Chemicals Engineers, scientists, toxicologists, industrial hygienists, and extension and commercial application industry professionals, as well as students of these fields, will find The Complete Book of Pesticide Management to be an indispensable resource.

Download or read book The Global Politics of Pesticides written by Peter Hough and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Global Politics of Pesticides explores the varied, and often conflicting, interests involved in the formulation of international policies on chemical pesticide manufacture and use in each of the main areas of environmental pollution, trade, development, public health, food security, biotechnology and industrial safety and explains why some aspects of pesticide use are subject to strict international guidelines whilst others are not. The book breaks new ground in objectively examining the competing viewpoints of food producers and other pesticide users, the chemical industry, health officials, traders, environmental/consumer pressure groups and the public. It also considers how international regulation can occur in spite of the fundamental differences of opinion and seemingly opposing interests held by the key actors.

Book excerpt: With the emergence of new pesticide combinations and application methods, assessing their potential risks to non-target organisms and human well-being becomes paramount. Pesticide Toxicology and Risk Assessment focuses on the need and strategies for safe and efficient use of pesticides. It offers insights from toxicogenomics, enabling an understanding of the genetic and epigenetic factors influencing human susceptibility to chemical toxicity, thereby quantifying their impacts. This book underscores the significance of risk assessment methodologies considering real-time variables influencing pesticide exposure to the environment and humans. It provides comprehensive details about models designed to evaluate risks across a spectrum of scenarios, from worst-case to real-time situations, while outlining strategies to mitigate these risks proactively. Furthermore, this book delves into the critical need for conducting field studies, particularly in addressing innovative combinations and application techniques. Key Features: • Covers toxicogenomic insights, delving into genetic and epigenetic impacts on human susceptibility to chemical toxicity • Provides insight into necessary field studies for new pesticide approaches • Aids pesticide manufacturers with risk assessment and effective formulation insights As an aid for regulatory bodies, the book facilitates the evaluation of risks linked to both established and innovative pesticides, promoting informed decisions on usage by integrating risk reduction approaches. Simultaneously, it serves as a valuable guide for pesticide manufacturers, offering insights into using risk assessment tools to develop secure and effective pesticide blends. This guidance expedites the introduction of novel pesticides that are efficient and safe for various applications.
