The present study is dedicated to the human health
problems and classification of the most toxic pesticides. Pesticides are a wide
range of chemicals with different degree of hazard, from extremely to slightly
hazardous. Highly hazardous pesticides may have acute or chronic toxic effects.
Their widespread use has caused health problems and fatalities in many parts of
the world, often as a result of occupational exposure and accidental or
intentional poisonings. Environmental contamination can also result in human
exposure through consumption of residues of pesticides in food and, possibly,
drinking-water. Recommended classification of pesticides by hazard;
carcinogenicity; mutagenicity; reproductive toxicity; listing under the
Stockholm Convention on Persistent
Organic Pollutants, the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed
Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Pesticides and Industrial Chemicals in
International Trade or the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the
Ozone Layer; or evidence of severe or irreversible adverse effects on human
health.
