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 poisonin 410 0$aCurrent toxicology series. 606 $aPesticides$xToxicology 606 $aPesticides$xHealth aspects 606 $aPesticides$xGovernment policy 615 0$aPesticides$xToxicology. 615 0$aPesticides$xHealth aspects. 615 0$aPesticides$xGovernment policy. 676 $a615.9/51 676 $a615.902 676 $a615.951 701 $aMarrs$b Timothy C$0855364 701 $aBallantyne$b Bryan$0855365 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910143510803321 996 $aPesticide toxicology and international regulation$91909566 997 $aUNINA
