Pesticide Exposure, Safety Issues, and Risk Assessment Indicators
TL;DR: New tools or techniques with greater reliability than those already existing are needed to predict the potential hazards of pesticides and thus contribute to reduction of the adverse effects on human health and the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global Water Pollution and Human Health
TL;DR: In this paper, the main groups of aquatic contaminants, their effects on human health, and approaches to mitigate pollution of freshwater resources are reviewed, particularly on inorganic and organic micropollutants including toxic metals and metalloids as well as a large variety of synthetic organic chemicals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Break crop benefits in temperate wheat production
TL;DR: This review summarizes current understanding of the ‘better-known’ mechanisms of crop rotation, and discusses other mechanisms (e.g. changes in rhizosphere biology, allelopathy or soil structure) that may help to account fully for the rotation benefits that have been observed by agricultural producers for more than 2000 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is the Naturally Derived Insecticide Spinosad® Compatible with Insect Natural Enemies?
TL;DR: For conservation of predator populations, spinosad represents one of the most judicious insecticides available but the use of this product should be evaluated carefully in situations where conservation of parasitoid populations is of prime concern.
Break crop benefits in temperate wheat production.
TL;DR: A survey of the literature gathered from around the world showed mean yield benefits of up to 20% or more as discussed by the authors, although researchers continue to be challenged by inexplicable "rotation effects" that have yet to be documented or fully understood.

Assessing the impact of pesticides on the environment
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address a two-part question: what factors should be taken into consideration to assess pesticide environmental impact, and how can impact be quantified? As the environmental impact of a pesticide depends on its dispersion in the environment and on its toxicological properties, the literature on these topics is reviewed to address the first part of the question.
A Method to Measure the Environmental Impact of Pesticides
TL;DR: This bulletin presents a method to calculate the environmental impact of most common fruit and vegetable pesticides (insecticides, acaricides, fungicides and herbicides) used in commercial agriculture.
Journal ArticleDOI
An indicator of pesticide environmental impact based on a fuzzy expert system
TL;DR: An agro-ecological indicator IPEST, based on the expert system, is proposed as a tool to assess the environmental impact of all pesticide applications related to a crop within a year and results of a sensitivity analysis and module and Ipest scores for some pesticide application cases are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Novel Approach to Environmental Risk Assessment of Pesticides as a Basis for Incorporating Environmental Costs into Economic Injury Levels
TL;DR: Results indicate that use of environmental ElLs could reduce pesticide use dramatically and improve pesticide selection, and provides a formal method for assessing environmental risks from pesticides at the level of individual users, as well as at the regional or national level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Site-specific pesticide recommendations: the final step in environmental impact prevention
TL;DR: In this article, a screening procedure to minimize adverse water quality impacts of pesticide application is presented that matches pesticide parameters to site-specific soil ratings, including a Relative Leaching Potential Index (RLPI), a Relative Runoff potential Index (RRPI), the U.S. Environ. Prot. Agency (USEPA) lifetime health advisory level (HAL), and aquatic toxicity (LC50).
