Selection of pesticides to reduce human and environmental health risks: a global guideline and minimum pesticides list

The Lancet Planetary Health, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 4(2), P. e56 - e63

Published: Feb. 1, 2020

BackgroundPesticides present widespread risks to human and environmental health, yet selection criteria for end-users that factor in differences risk between compounds are scant. We developed a system classify pesticide hazards with respect health produce minimum (lower risk) list.MethodsWe classified 659 pesticides by acute chronic (eg, respiratory carcinogenic effects) risks, including biomagnification atmospheric ozone depletion aquatic life, terrestrial wildlife, pollinators. From this analysis, we produced guideline of lower pesticides. The classification highly hazardous high-risk has been tested more than million farm households the tropics, US integrated pest management (IPM) programmes. full classification, list, used fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) throughout Africa Asia.FindingsOur analysis stand-alone When classifying current use against Africa, our identified chemicals effective health. argue which meets IPM needs, could be from system.InterpretationAs far as aware, is first propose method implementing idea list outline candidate compounds.
