Download or read book Pesticides And Politics written by Christopher J. Bosso and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2010-11-23 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 1988 Policy Studies Organization Book Award Among the more dramatic changes brought by World War II was the widespread introduction of new synthetic chemical pesticides - products welcomed as technological answers to a whole host of agricultural problems. The dangers posed by these products were often ignored in the rush to get them onto the market. Federal policy primarily reflected the interests of those promoting the new technologies. The risks associated with pesticides, as yet ill-understood, continued to be played down during the 1950s, despite their sudden emergence as a public problem as a result of health scares and fish and wildlife deaths following massive pest eradication campaigns. These events, together with the publication of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, spawned the environmental movement of the 1960s.Dramatic changes came in the early 1970s as environmental values permeated the institutions and dynamics of American politics. Such changes produced new priorities, and - in part - a redirection in federal policy on chemical pesticides. The National Environmental Policy Act, the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency, congressional reforms, and broad popular support opened opportunities for those seeking to alter pesticides policy. But by the mid-1980s, after more than a decade of conflict, that policy is in limbo, caught between powerful environmental, economic, and political forces.How did this happen?Pesticides and Politics traces the long battle over control of pesticides through an analytical framework that is at the same time historical, comparative, and theoretical. Christopher J. Bosso's account analyzes the responses to this complex problem by commercial interests, government, the media, and the public, and shows how the issue evolved over forty years of technological and political change.Bosso's research leads to a number of insights about the U.S. structure of governance. It shows how the system itself determines who gains access to decision making and who is excluded, and how conflicts are redefined as the range of interests attached to them grows. Bosso concludes that for fundamental institutional reasons, as well as political ones, federal pesticides policy lies stalled and impotent in the mid-1980s.Relying heavily on government documents, the sizable literature on environmental politics, and interviews with relevant policy actors, Pesticides and Politics will enlighten students of the public policy process, and also be useful in courses in policy making and policy analysis.

Download or read book The Effects of Pesticides on Human Health written by Scott R. Baker and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pesticides are developed specifically for their ability to interact & interfere with a variety of biological targets. Because of the fundamental similarities of organisms at the subcellular level, selectivity is often difficult to achieve & unanticipated pesticide actions leading to a number of adverse health effects may result. Some occupational exposure to pesticides is unavoidable, even with strict adherence to good agricultural practices & proper application procedures. This book, presenting the results of a 1988 workshop focusing on the potential chronic health effects of pesticides, addresses the topics of pesticide exposure, neurotoxicity, carcinogenicity, immunotoxicity, developmental toxicity, & reproductive toxicity. Pesticides discussed include: organochlorine insecticides, DDT & its derivatives, hexachlorocyclohexanes & cyclodienes, chlordecone, anticholinesterase insecticides, organophosphorus esters, carbamates, pyrethrins & pyrethroid insecticides, & herbicides, fungicides, & fumigants. A valuable source of information for biological chemists, toxicologists, pathologists, pharmacists, regulatory officials, environmentalists, governmental & state scientists, attorneys, managers, & biomedical scientists.

This book was released on 2000-08-23 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the risks and benefits of crops that are genetically modified for pest resistance, the urgency of establishing an appropriate regulatory framework for these products, and the importance of public understanding of the issues. The committee critically reviews federal policies toward transgenic products, the 1986 coordinated framework among the key federal agencies in the field, and rules proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency for regulation of plant pesticides. This book provides detailed analyses of: Mechanisms and results of genetic engineering compared to conventional breeding for pest resistance. Review of scientific issues associated with transgenic pest-protected plants, such as allergenicity, impact on nontarget plants, evolution of the pest species, and other concerns. Overview of regulatory framework and its use of scientific information with suggestions for improvements.
