Book excerpt: The past decades have seen the implementation of numerous programmes for the eradication of molluscs, due mainly to their involvement as vectors of human parasitic diseases. These programmes have involved the use of vast quantities of molluscicides and have resulted in many unwanted side effects. This volume of the International Encyclopedia of Pharmacology and Therapeutics brings together reviews on the major molluscicides in current use. Each review outlines all the physicochemical, toxicological and pharmacological properties, as well as detailing the effects on all the other major organisms that they are likely to come into contact with. In bringing together all this information in one volume, this book will enable the use of molluscicides to be better controlled and far more effective, whilst preventing the serious ecological damage often associated with such programmes.

Book excerpt: The role that molluscicides can play in the control of schistosomiasis has been well established. Economic constraints and the rising cost of synthetic chemicals in endemic countries make plants an attractive alternative source of molluscicides. For the first time the present and potential roles of plant molluscicides, screening methods, problems of evaluation, needs in the field of toxicology, and methods of breeding, selection and cultivation of plants are review. Guidelines for research in plant molluscicides are reported.

Download or read book Pesticides in the Diets of Infants and Children written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1993-02-01 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the pesticides applied to food crops in this country are present in foods and may pose risks to human health. Current regulations are intended to protect the health of the general population by controlling pesticide use. This book explores whether the present regulatory approaches adequately protect infants and children, who may differ from adults in susceptibility and in dietary exposures to pesticide residues. The committee focuses on four major areas: Susceptibility: Are children more susceptible or less susceptible than adults to the effects of dietary exposure to pesticides? Exposure: What foods do infants and children eat, and which pesticides and how much of them are present in those foods? Is the current information on consumption and residues adequate to estimate exposure? Toxicity: Are toxicity tests in laboratory animals adequate to predict toxicity in human infants and children? Do the extent and type of toxicity of some chemicals vary by species and by age? Assessing risk: How is dietary exposure to pesticide residues associated with response? How can laboratory data on lifetime exposures of animals be used to derive meaningful estimates of risk to children? Does risk accumulate more rapidly during the early years of life? This book will be of interest to policymakers, administrators of research in the public and private sectors, toxicologists, pediatricians and other health professionals, and the pesticide industry.
