Comprehensive Analytical Profiles of Important Pesticides provides detailed information on the properties and analytical methodology for nine prominent pesticides, including one insecticide, two fungicides, five herbicides, and one plant growth regulator. An analysis of various fumigants in foods is also provided. An overview for each pesticide covers formulation and uses; chemical and physical properties; analytical methods and toxicological data; fish and wildlife toxicity studies; and tolerances on various foods and feeds. General properties including toxicity data, procedures and ramifications for formulation analysis, low level residue analysis, and modifications and occurrences are listed for each compound. Experimental details of procedures are reviewed together with a critical evaluation leading to a recommended procedure. The wealth of information found in Comprehensive Analytical Profiles of Important Pesticides makes it an essential reference volume for analytical chemists, laboratory managers, environmental chemists, residue chemists, toxicologists, and other professionals who require access to concise reports illustrating the latest successful approaches to analyzing these important pesticides.

Although chemical pesticides safeguard crops and improve farm productivity, they are increasingly feared for their potentially dangerous residues and their effects on ecosystems. The Future Role of Pesticides explores the role of chemical pesticides in the decade ahead and identifies the most promising opportunities for increasing the benefits and reducing the risks of pesticide use. The committee recommends R&D, program, and policy initiatives for federal agriculture authorities and other stakeholders in the public and private sectors. This book presents clear overviews of key factors in chemical pesticide use, including: Advances in genetic engineering not only of pest-resistant crops but also of pests themselves. Problems in pesticide useâ€"concerns about the health of agricultural workers, the ability of pests to develop resistance, issues of public perception, and more. Impending shifts in agricultureâ€"globalization of the economy, biological "invasions" of organisms, rising sensitivity toward cross-border environmental issues, and other trends. With a model and working examples, this book offers guidance on how to assess various pest control strategies available to today's agriculturist.

Concern about health effects from exposure to pesticides in foods is growing as scientists learn more about the toxic properties of pesticides. The Delaney Clause, a provision of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, prohibits tolerances for any pesticide that causes cancer in test animals or in humans if the pesticide concentrates in processed food or feeds. This volume examines the impacts of the Delaney Clause on agricultural innovation and on the public's dietary exposure to potentially carcinogenic pesticide residues. Four regulatory scenarios are described to illustrate the effects of varying approaches to managing oncogenic pesticide residues in food.

The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.
