Highly Hazardous Pesticides

Highyl Hazardous Pesticides are a global concern - especially in developing countries. Over governmental bodies and other organisations invested in "safe use" programs - without success. Therefore an increasing number of scientists, politicians, and agricultural experts call for a progressive ban of highly hazardous pesticides.

To support the phase out of highly hazardous pesticides PAN has :

  • investigated and documents the adverse effects of chemical intensive pest management systems,
  • defined the term "highly hazardous pesticde" and
  • developped approaches to avoid poisings caused by pesticides.
