| Abstract |
This is the first edition of the subfile of agricultural chemicals and pesticides extracted from the NIOSH Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances. It contains 2190 substances that are used to achieve specific agricultural purposes. The subfile was prepared to provide toxicity data in order to facilitate the provision of a safe, healthful environment for employees encountering agricultural chemicals at all stages of testing, synthesis, formulation, and use. The subfile attempts to be a list comprehensive in scope rather than a status report on substances currently in use. Substances included are growth regulators, fertilizers, veterinary antibiotics, algicides, fungicides, herbicides, bactericides, disinfectants, insecticides, insecticide adjuvants, insect attractants and repellants, chemosterilants, acaricides, nematocides, molluscicides, avicides, and rodenticides. |
