Agricultural Pesticide Exposure Data Bases for Risk Assessment

  • Chapter
Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology

Part of the book series: Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology ((RECT,volume 126))

Abstract

Use of pesticides1 is widespread in agriculture and elsewhere. The hazards of these compounds depend on their toxicity and on the level of exposure. This is true not only for workers but also for the general public, although the routes of uptake may be quite different.
