Human Toxicology, 1988
1 Chemical treatment of crops is essential not only to reduce losses but also to prevent certain food related diseases. 2 Pesticides, unlike many other compounds, are designed to kill higher organisms and thus pose special toxicological problems.

Pesticides and the Pesticide Industry
BioScience, 1964wide for controlling disease-transmitting pests and also reducing populations of nuisance pests. Practically every authority who has studied the use of pesticides has concluded that they are essential for production of food and protection of public health. Why then has there been so much public and private furor recently over the use of pesticides? Why

Current Opinion in Allergy & Clinical Immunology, 2011
Several clinical and epidemiological studies have reported an association between exposure to pesticides, bronchial hyper-reactivity and asthma symptoms. This article reviews the mechanistic evidence lending support to the concept that either acute or chronic low-level inhalation of pesticides may trigger asthma attacks, exacerbate asthma or increase ...

Chemosphere, 1997
40 rainwater samples were collected in Hannover and near Peine (Lower Saxony, Germany) in 1992 using a wet-only collector. The samples were extracted by solid phase extraction and analyzed by GC/MS for 59 pesticides. 11 pesticides were found in more than 10 samples.

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2001
Children are exposed to a wide range of pesticides, including insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and rodenticides. They differ from adults in their exposures and responses to exposures. Acute and chronic toxicity are discussed, and important chronic effects, such as carcinogenesis, endocrine disruption, and neurodevelopment effects are reviewed. The

Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology, 2004
Prevention and control of damage to health, crops, and property by insects, fungi, and noxious weeds are the major goals of pesticide applications. As with use of any biologically active agent, pesticides have unwanted side-effects. In this review, we will examine the thesis that adverse pesticide effects are more likely to occur in children who are at

Environmental Science & Technology, 1995
Immunoassay is recognized as a promising method for screening environmental contaminants. Numerous immunoassays have already been developed, and especially the rapidity, sensitivity, and costeffectiveness of this method are considered as advantageous for screening purposes to reduce sample load for conventional analyses.

Journal of Applied Philosophy, 1984
ABSTRACT The decision to accept or to reject an empirical hypothesis concerning the risks and hazards of a pesticide requires assessing the cost's of error if the wrong decision is taken. The assessment of such costs involves scientists in problems which are closely related to those which policy‐makers face in deciding what to do in view of the ...
