Pesticides

Department of Morbid Anatomy, The London Hospital Medical College, London E1 1BB, UK

1 Chemical treatment of crops is essential not only to reduce losses but also to prevent certain food related diseases.

2 Pesticides, unlike many other compounds, are designed to kill higher organisms and thus pose special toxicological problems.

3 It is important to understand the mechanism of action of the pesticide in the target organism in order to assess risk/benefit as accurately as possible.

4 In future the need for pharmacokinetic/dynamic and comparative metabolic data will increase and it will become important to gather human exposure data for certain commonly used compounds, data which are sadly lacking at present.
