Terrestrial Field Trials for Side-effects of Pesticides
نویسنده
چکیده
This thesis discusses terrestrial field trials to detect side-effects of pesticides, and concentrates on the roles of field trials in pesticide registration procedures and in research into the nature and extent of side-effects of pesticides in the Netherlands. The study was conducted at the Centre of Environmental Science at Leiden University (CML). Most of the results have been derived from a number of projects carried out by CML for the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment (VROM).

Testing side-effects on beneficial organisms is increasingly important in the development of new pesticides and the reregistration of old active ingredients in Europe. This testing is partly done for regulatory assessment of potential risks to terrestrial, non-target arthropods, which are an important part of the environment, both in and out of crop fields. Tests are designed to determine the e...

Background: Pesticides are an extremely diverse group of substances with a wide potential for a variety of toxic effects. They are biocidal agents used to control a wide variety of organisms that pose a threat to health or compete for food or other materials. Selective toxicity for the target pest is the principle of pesticide use, but because organisms are similar at the cellular or subcellula...
متن کاملAmphibians at risk? Susceptibility of terrestrial amphibian life stages to pesticides.
Current pesticide risk assessment does not specifically consider amphibians. Amphibians in the aquatic environment (aquatic life stages or postmetamorphic aquatic amphibians) and terrestrial living juvenile or adult amphibians are assumed to be covered by the risk assessment for aquatic invertebrates and fish, or mammals and birds, respectively. This procedure has been evaluated as being suffic...
