Description

This book explores whether infants and children differ from adults in susceptibility and in dietary exposures to pesticides and, if so, whether present regulatory approaches adequately protect them. The book summarizes the status of pesticide use, data collection and toxicity testing methods, and federal pesticide regulation. It details the special characteristics of children and analyzes toxicity information based on their exposure to pesticides in the diet.
