Chemistry and Specifications of Pesticides | Free Book
WHO Technical Report Series, No 899
Issues recommendations and technical specifications intended to
encourage the manufacturing, purchasing, and use of pesticides that
conform to internationally agreed standards of quality and safety. The
report, which records the consensus reached by international experts
in pesticide chemistry and vector control, is part of an ongoing
effort to provide pesticide manufacturers, users, and registration
authorities with specifications that correspond to the latest
knowledge and technical developments, particularly concerning advances
that improve the quality or reduce the toxicity of pesticides. The
report also responds to the need to assure that these important tools
for combating disease vectors and pests are produced and used in ways
that pose a minimum risk to those involved in pesticide application,
to the public, and to the environment.
The report has two main parts. The first provides an overview of recent trends in the pattern of vector-borne diseases, in the development and formulation of new pesticides, and in the methods available for testing and analysis. The second part records recommended specifications for new pesticides and analytical methods and recommended revisions for existing specifications. Specifications are presented for the new formulations bendiocarb dustable powder and deltamethrin ultra-low-volume liquid and for six new pesticides: diflubenzuron, dimethoate, endosulfan, permethrin, phoxim, and pirimiphos-methyl.
