Pesticides may be toxic and harmful to the environment and to people if they are used improperly. At the same time, they help to manage and prevent pests that spread disease, that damage crops, buildings, and other property, and that are a public nuisance. The lead state agency for regulating pesticides is the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA).

Although, it may be out of date in some areas, e.g. Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) and Acceptable Daily Intake (ADIs) and may contains other inaccuracies, it constitutes a unique source of information on pesticides used in Asia. For the first time, to our knowledge, pesticides widely used in Asia were put in a direct relationship with their environmental and health effects. An attempt was also made attracting the attention of the users of the database to environmentally friendlier alternatives of crop protection, e.g. through Integrated Pest Management (IPM) methods.

http://ag.arizona.edu/pubs/garden/mg/pesticides/environment.html

Extractions: Fine mists of herbicides can drift to nearby crops or landscape plants and kill them. Bees and other pollinators can be killed if a crop is treated with a pesticide when they are in the field. The natural enemies of pest insects can also be killed by pesticides. Life in streams or ponds can be wiped out by accidental spraying of ditches and waterways, runoff from sprayed fields, and careless container disposal. If more than one pesticide will control the pest, choose the one that is the least hazardous to the environment and most useful for the situation. To protect beneficial insects, avoid excessive use of insecticides - spray only when crop and pest populations require. Protecting Insect Pollinators Gardeners should give special consideration to protecting insect pollinators, such as the honey bee, from insecticide poisoning. Insecticides highly toxic to bees have restricted application times when being applied to crops frequented by honey bees. Bees are not active in late evening and early morning. Do not apply insecticides when temperatures are unusually low because residues will remain toxic much longer.
Measuring Pesticides And How They Transform In The Environment
New Methods for Measuring pesticides and their Degradates in the environment New and innovative pesticides are being developed and are applied in the environment every year of these new pesticides and their degradates in the environment are not available
http://toxics.usgs.gov/highlights/pest_deg_methods.html

Extractions: Headlines New and innovative pesticides are being developed and are applied in the environment every year. In many cases, methods to assess the fate of these new pesticides and their degradates in the environment are not available. The Toxic Substances Hydrology (Toxics) Program develops methods to measure a variety of pesticides and their degradates, and assesses their environmental transport. Degradates are the product of environmental transformation of the parent pesticide and can have similar properties. (More information on the significance of degradates in streams and ground water is available.) The methods are effective at low but environmentally significant levels, enabling determination of the potential for, and circumstances of, harmful effects. This information is used for pesticide registration, resource management, and manufacturing decisions. For example: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has developed two new water-quality analytical methods for the determination of chloroacetanilide herbicide degradates in water. These methods use solid-phase extraction and high performance liquid chromatography diode array detection (HPAA) and high performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCAA). Both methods measure the concentration of 10 acetanilides herbicide degradates in samples of filtered water. The reporting limits for the HPAA method are 0.2 micrograms per liter (ug/L), while reporting limits for the LCAA method are 0.05 ug/L.

Food and Agriculture Organization. Several hundred thousand tons of dangerous, useless pesticides currently plague several countries around the globe, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. Even worse, enough funding for the clean up of these obsolete pesticides doesn't exist and the FAO estimates they could pose a threat to humans and the environment until 2030. "No one wants to pay good money to burn old chemicals. They would much rather give development aid to build hospitals, roads and schools and fund other sustainable development options," said Mark Davis of the United Kingdom's Pesticide Trust. "What they overlook is that as long as the toxic legacy of obsolete pesticides remains, sustainable development is effectively impossible because water, soil and air continue to be poisoned." At least 100,000 tons of obsolete pesticides are located in developing countries with an estimated 20,000 tons of pesticide leftovers in Africa, 3,000 tons alone in Morocco.
ENVIRONMENT: Mauritania's Toxic Pesticides Incinerated In Holland

North America By Ramesh Jaura BONN, Sep 2 (IPS) - Toxic pesticide stocks in Mauritania will be shipped later this month to Rotterdam and incinerated in a hazardous waste plant situated close to the Dutch sea port. The action is part of a joint project launched by the German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GTZ) and the Royal Dutch/Shell group of companies. Work on the collection of 200 tonnes of dieldrin, an insecticide for locust control, and 100 tonnes of contaminated storage drums from five sites in Mauritania Atar, Ayoun, Nouakchott, Kankossa and Rosso began end of August, GTZ spokesman Hans Steh ling told IPS. The project was initiated in 1995 when the German government was approached by the government of Mauritania, a country in the Sahel-Saharan region of West Africa, for technical and financial support to dispose of the dieldrin stocks. The German ministry of economic cooperation and development (BMZ) has provided one million marks (about 555,000 dollars) and tasked the GTZ, with headquarters in Eschborn, near Frankfurt am Main, with its implementation.

http://www.croplife.ca/english/resourcecentre/pest-environment.html

Extractions: Pesticides protect the environment by allowing farmers to produce more food on less land. Since 1950 alone, farmers have doubled the world's food supply without increasing the acreage farmed. Without pesticides, new land would have been brought into production at a tremendous cost to natural resources and wildlife habitat. As the world's population rapidly expands, forecasters believe our global ability to produce food will have to triple to meet a world population of 10 billion by 2050. Where will this extra food come from? There are two options: cultivate more land, severely reducing wildlife habitat; or find new ways of increasing yields on existing farmlands using crop protection technology. Today's pesticides are generally less toxic to people, animals and other non-target species. Many products target specific pests and have low use rates, making them more environmentally friendly. In fact, use rates have been reduced from litres or kilograms per hectare to grams or millilitres per hectare. Many crop protection products completely biodegrade within days after application.
WWF | Toxic Chemicals
Information from the World Wildlife Fund on toxic chemicals in the environment. Focus on endocrine disruptors, persistant organic pesticides (POP's) and agricultural pesticides.
http://www.worldwildlife.org/toxics/

Extractions: Modern society has developed an extensive array of synthetic chemicals over the last several decades - chemicals to control disease, increase food production, and to provide convenience in our daily lives. Ironically, many of these well-intentioned chemicals are now wreaking havoc around the world, threatening the health of wildlife and people. As WWF tracks the growing body of scientific research on chemical contamination and the effects of exposure, a sobering picture emerges. Wherever scientists look - the tropics, marine systems, industrial regions, the Arctic - they find the effects of toxic chemicals. Wildlife, people and entire ecosystems are threatened by chemicals that can alter sexual and neurological development, impair reproduction, and undermine immune systems. Today there is unequivocal evidence that a number of widely distributed synthetic chemicals have already caused serious damage to the health of wildlife and people and pose an ongoing danger. Wildlife as diverse as polar bears, whales, frogs, eagles, and fish are contaminated with pesticides and industrial chemicals. Many scientists have concluded that synthetic chemicals have damaged wildlife populations by causing decreased fertility, thyroid dysfunction, behavioral abnormalities, decreased hatching success, and feminization and demasculinization in males.

Major support and funding was provided by the USDA/Extension Service/National Agricultural Pesticide Impact Assessment Program. EXTOXNET primary files maintained and archived at Oregon State University Revised 9/93. MOVEMENT OF PESTICIDES IN THE ENVIRONMENT INTRODUCTION The widespread use and disposal of pesticides by farmers, institutions and the general public provide many possible sources of pesticides in the environment. Following release into the environment, pesticides may have many different fates. Pesticides which are sprayed can move through the air and may eventually end up in other parts of the environment, such as in soil or water. Pesticides which are applied directly to the soil may be washed off the soil into nearby bodies of surface water or may percolate through the soil to lower soil layers and groundwater. Pesticides which are injected into the soil may also be subject to the latter two fates. The application of pesticides directly to bodies of water for weed control, or indirectly as a result of leaching from boat paint, runoff from soil or other routes, may lead not only to build up of pesticides in water, but also may contribute to air levels through evaporation.

FEEL FREE TO E-MAIL THE SITE COORDINATOR WITH ANY FEEDBACK, POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE.] This is the web site for SOLE. We are located in the southwestern corner of New York State. For many years a website called Gobbler served as an information-dissemination point and sounding board for various ideas. There, concerned citizens could learn more and share ideas about both world events and area news. Gobbler is no more. Therefore, some of us, adherents to the cause, decided to pitch the ball again, creating a site called Forum. Originally, the late Wayne J. Anderson served as one of the founders and our site editor. Sadly, his death left a hole difficult to fill. After Wayne's death, the momentum to carry on lessened, and we abandoned the site. But now a new cause has given new life to the old Forum, relabeled SOLE, or Save Our Lake Environment. We are certain Wayne would applaud. In fact, we have kept some of his essays as a tribute to his ever-alert concern about social issues. You will find them sprinkled here and there. During 2001, concerned citizens adopted spraying as a chief method of weed control in lower Chautauqua Lake. Gradually, fishing enthusiasts, naturalists, and environmentalists organized to combat this myopic approach to saving the lake. Some of us have expertise in certain areas. Others are simply interested enough to want contact. Regardless, this is a place to hear and be heard. We hope that the sharing will result in a cohesive group dedicated to improving overall quality of life in and around Chautauqua Lake.

Extractions: en EUROPA European Commission Environment Policies ... Resources On 1 July 2002, the European Commission adopted a Communication Towards a Thematic Strategy on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides COM (2002) 349 The Communication follows the mandate given by the European Parliament and the Council in the framework of the 6th Environmental Action Programme (6EAP) to develop seven thematic strategies for priority environmental problems. Pesticides have been the centre of controversy for a long time and are associated with risks to human health and/or to the environment. On the other hand, society accepts these risks within certain limits as there are also benefits linked to the use of pesticides, in particular in agricultural production. The European Community has developed a very comprehensive regulatory framework, Directive 91/414/EEC defining strict rules for the authorisation of plant protection products (PPPs). The Directive requires very extensive risk assessments for effects on health and environment to be carried out, before a PPP can be placed on the market and used. Community rules also exist that define maximum residue limits (MRLs) on food- and feedstuffs.
