| Synopsis: |
This volume records the recommendations of an expert committee commissioned to evaluate trends in the use of pesticides for public health purposes, to identify issues of safety or quality requiring international attention, and to propose appropriate actions. The committee also recommends specifications for individual pesticides for use in quality control by purchasing and regulatory authorities. Information in the report responds to striking changes in the use of pesticides, including further integration of vector control into basic health services, greater individual responsibility for personal protection, and greater community responsibility for vector control. The report has two parts. The first discusses several activities aimed at improving the safety and quality of pesticides used in vector and public health pest control. The second part issues recommended changes to existing specifications for 20 pesticides, recommended specifications for two new pesticides and formulations, and procedures for performing four new WHO test methods. |
