The ‘handbook of pesticides’ is a comprehensive, scientific manual on the use, nature, effect and control of pesticides. It features contributions by experts from government pest management institutions, academia, and the private sector on issues associated to the needs, uses, and properties of chemicals found in modern pesticides. The book discusses pesticide crop residue limits; hazard levels of long-term human toxicity; and the chemical profile of different pesticides. This pesticide manual is an important reference tool for different readers spanning the food sector, the agricultural sector, environmental and industrial health/safety specialists and toxicologists. It also gives pesticide handlers tips on what to do for prevention of pesticide exposure and poisoning.
