    Extractions: New Research Examines Relationship Between Pesticides, the Environment and Human Health Pesticide Poisonings Prove 20 Times Higher Than Expected An international team of scientists working in the highlands of Ecuador has found that deaths and illness from human exposure to insecticides is nearly 20 times higher than previously estimated. Using a new policy analysis tool known as the Tradeoff Analysis Model, scientists at the Peruvian-based International Potato Center, a Future Harvest Center, are calling into question long-held beliefs about the relationship between agro-chemicals, the environment, and human health. The Tradeoff Analysis Model, or TOA, uses software that integrates computer models from different disciplines. The system produces easy-to-understand graphs that can help decision makers weigh the complexities of issues where agriculture, environment, and human health intersect. Climbing Out of Poverty "Comparing agriculture with environmental objectives or with human health is a little like adding apples and oranges, yet that's precisely the type of policy analysis that's needed to make sense of the conflicting objectives involved in sustainable agriculture," says Charles Crissman, a Potato Center economist. "The question that we've tried to answer with the new model is: Which policies can be put into place that will provide adequate levels of protection for the farmers' potato crop and, at the same time, reduce pollution and improve human health?"

State of the Caucasus Environment and Policy Measures: a retrospective from 1972 to 2002 2.8 Wastes and Hazardous Chemicals 2.8.4 Hazardous Chemicals and Obsolete Pesticides During the Soviet period, fertilisers and agrochemicals were intensively used in the Caucasus region, since the region’s economy was largely agriculture-based. Although total use has declined dramatically since the break up of the Soviet Union, there are some indications that the use has been slightly going up, at least for Georgia. There, about 60-70% of chemicals in use are illegally imported (MoE, expert interviews, 2000; GRID-Tbilisi, 2002). For other parts of the Caucasus, there is no information available. Thus, the current situation can be described in a following way: Centralised import of pesticides was stopped in the beginning of the 1990s due to economic difficulties;

    Extractions: Pesticides are mainly used to control and eradicate disease vectors of desirable plant species, which in turn improve agricultural productivity. In today's world, particularly in developing countries, the use of pesticides have become so important that they are linked with improvement of human welfare (Otter et al., 1980). Because the losses of crops caused by pests are higher in developing countries, specifically under mono-cropping systems. Pesticide poisoning in developing countries occurs in variety of ways. The group most at risk is farm worker, who mixes and applies pesticides in the field, also enters in the field after spraying. In 1976 massive poisoning among spray men of Malaria Control Programme occurred in Pakistan, and more than 7500 field workers were affected and five of them died (WHO, 1978). These injuries were result of mixing pesticides by hand and other poor practices (USAID, 1977). Increasing use of pesticides has contributed in livestock diseases and mortality in rural areas of Pakistan. In December 1997, in Landhi Karachi, 40 buffaloes and cattle died due to unknown reasons. After laboratory tests it was identified that these animals died due to pesticide poisoning. After feed analysis it was found that their cotton seed cakes were contaminated with organo chlorine pesticide residue. In Tando Adam (Sindh), a herd of cattle and buffalo was affected due to pesticide poisoning, while the herd was grazing in fallow land besides cotton field, because cotton field was sprayed with pesticides.

    Extractions: of its potential to contaminate groundwater DEC has announced an enforcement action against the Scotts Company of Marysville, Ohio for failing to register two pesticides before selling and distributing them in New York State. "All pesticide products sold or distributed in New York State must first be registered with the State Department of Environmental Conservation to ensure the products are appropriate for use," Commissioner Crotty said. "In this case, the Scotts Company failed to register two pesticide products before selling and distributing them in the state, leading us to take action to protect public health and our environment." Scotts will pay a civil penalty of $300,000. An additional $300,000 penalty is suspended if the company fully complies with the consent order. In addition, Scotts will pay $900,000 for an Environmental Benefit Project to collect and dispose of old, unregistered, unusable or unwanted pesticide products. This project will be administered by the Natural Heritage Trust.

75. MOVEMENT OF PESTICIDES IN THE ENVIRONMENT
    MOVEMENT OF pesticides IN THE environment. INTRODUCTION. Following releaseinto the environment, pesticides may have many different fates.  
    http://www.uoguelph.ca/GTI/urbanpst/movement.htm
    
    Extractions: HTML'ized from ExToxNet 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. This incomplete list of possibilities suggests that the movement of pesticides in the environment is very complex with transfers occurring continually among different environmental compartments. In some cases, these exchanges occur not only between areas that are close together (such as a local pond receiving some of the herbicide application on adjacent land) but also may involve transportation of pesticides over long distances. The worldwide distribution of DDT and the presence of pesticides in bodies of water such as the Great Lakes far from their primary use areas are good examples of the vast potential of such movement.

    The aim of the Arctic Council project is to reduce emissions of obsolete andprohibited pesticides into the environment in the area of Russian arctic.  
    http://www.vyh.fi/eng/current/press/syke/2002/r020731.htm
    
    Extractions: Helsinki 31.7.2002 It has been estimated that there are approx. 24,000 tonnes of defectively stored obsolete pesticides in the area of the Russian Federation. Obsolete pesticides are often overage, prohibited or damaged due to poor storing. Many of them are harmful environmental toxins and hazardous to the environment and health, because they are bio-magnified in the environment and organisms. Photo: Timo Seppälä, SYKE In addition, they are often very persistent, particularly in low temperatures, and easily transported in the environment, due to which it is possible that their environmental impacts cover the entire arctic area.Finland participates in a joint project launched by the Arctic Council with the aim of determining the quantities and qualities of obsolete pesticides in the arctic areas of Russia and arranging safe storing and disposal of the substances. The Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) participates in the project as an expert body. Many of the obsolete pesticides in Russia belong to the so-called POP compounds (Persistent Organic Pollutants), which are the most harmful of all environmental toxins. Their decomposition is very slow, and they can be transported by the air or water a long way from the emission source. They are also bio-accumulated in animals in the upper food chain. POP compounds can be hazardous to health and natural organisms in very small concentrations. Several POP compounds have been shown to cause reproduction problems for animals. These compounds are especially problematic in the arctic areas, where the food chains are short, the human regimen is often one-sided and the animals used as nourishment are contaminated by POP compounds. Because the properties of the POP compounds are harmful, the Stockholm Convention attempted to reduce the threat caused by them by concluding a worldwide agreement that was signed by 151 countries. The agreement has not entered into force yet.

    Extractions: Ask students what methods people use to fight pests. Answers could include traps, weeding or tilling, crop rotation, poison, biological controls such as natural predators, and preventive measures such as eliminating water sources for mice. Ask students which methods they think would have the most serious side effects. Watch the NEWTON’S APPLE segment on "Pesticides." Look for ways that people come in direct contact with pesticides. Discuss why children may be more vulnerable to pesticides than adults. Summarize ways people can protect themselves from pesticides. Pesticide–literally "pest-killer"–is a generic name for insecticides, herbicides (plants), fungicides (mold and mildew), rodenticides, and disinfectants (microbes). Since World War II, scientists in the United States have created 50,000 synthetic chemicals, including hundreds of pesticides, which have allowed us to greatly increase agricultural productivity. Children may be especially vulnerable to toxic substances. An estimated 100,000 children directly ingest pesticides accidentally each year. In addition, relative to their size, children breathe more air, drink more water, and eat more food than adults. Because children eat more of certain foods, any toxins in those foods would raise their relative exposure. Behaviors such as playing on the ground and putting objects in their mouths also increase their exposure. And their developing bodies make children less able to metabolize, detoxify, and excrete some toxic substances.

    But if proper care is not taken, pesticides can harm the environment by contaminatingsoil, surface and ground water. They can also kill wildlife. The Law.  
    http://environmentyukon.gov.yk.ca/epa/summary.shtml
    
    Extractions: September 11, 2002 Pesticides are an undeniable part of modern life, used to protect everything from flower gardens to agricultural crops from specific pests. Although pesticides are now commonplace, concerns still exist about their safety and proper use. Pesticides can be used safely and effectively. But if proper care is not taken, pesticides can harm the environment by contaminating soil, surface and ground water. They can also kill wildlife. The Law The federal government closely regulates pesticide products, which are stringently tested for their impact on human health and the environment. Federal regulations require that pesticides can only be used for the purposes described on the product label. Once pesticides are on the market, care still must be taken to use them properly, and that is where the Pesticide Regulations under the Yukon Environment Act come into play. Passed in 1994, the Pesticide Regulations address the proper storage, handling and use of pesticides. They are intended to prevent pesticides from contaminating the soil, water and air, and to protect food sources, humans, and valuable plants and animals from exposure to pesticides. Pesticide Classifications The federal Pest Control Products Act divides pesticides into three categories based on their intended use: domestic, commercial or restricted. The territorial pesticide regulations use these same categories.
