Manual 5:PESTICIDES AND HEALTH,SAFETY & THE ENVIRONMENTdinoseb, fluoroacetamide, HCH, heptachlor, hexachlorobenzene, lindane,mercury compounds, and pentachlorophenol, plus certain formulations ofmethamidophos, methyl-parathion, monocrotophos, parathion, andphosphamidon. Since September 1998 six additional pesticides(binapacryl, toxaphene, ethylene oxide, ethylene dichloride,monocrotophos and DNOC) and one additional severely hazardouspesticide formulation (dustable powder formulations containing acombination of benomyl, at or above 7 per cent; carbofuran, at or above 10per cent; and thiram, at or above 15 per cent have been added to theinterim PIC procedure.NoteBanned pesticide means a pesticide for which all uses have beenprohibited by final regulatory action, in order to protect humanhealth or the environment. It includes a pesticide that has beenrefused approval for first-time use or has been withdrawn byindustry either from the domestic market or for further considerationin the domestic approval process and where there is clear evidencethat such action has been taken in order to protect human health orthe environment. (FAO International Code of Conduct on theDistribution and Use of Pesticides, Revised Version 2003)Severely restricted pesticide means a pesticide for which virtually alluse has been prohibited by final regulatory action in order to protecthuman health or the environment, but for which certain specificuses remain allowed. It includes a pesticide that has, for virtually alluse, been refused for approval or been withdrawn by industry eitherfrom the domestic market or from further consideration in thedomestic approval process, and where there is clear evidence thatsuch action has been taken in order to protect human health or theenvironment. (FAO International Code of Conduct on theDistribution and Use of Pesticides, Revised Version 2003)UNEP Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants 2000The legally-binding Stockholm Convention on Persistent OrganicPollutants (POPs) introduces bans, phase outs, clean production, or otheractions to eliminate POPs. Nine pesticides are currently included in theConvention: aldrin, dieldrin, DDT, endrin, chlordane, hexachlorobenzene,mirex, toxaphene, and heptachlor.UN World Health Organisation (WHO)The International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS) is a jointprogramme of three UN organisations – ILO, UNEP and WHO each dealingwith different aspects of chemical safety. The IPCS’s main roles are to: establish the scientific basis for the sound management of chemicals strengthen national capabilities and capacities for chemical safety242 Health, Safety and EnvironmentA Series of Trade Union EducationManuals for Agricultural Workers
Manual 5:PESTICIDES AND HEALTH,SAFETY & THE ENVIRONMENTWHO Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazards andGuidelines to ClassificationThe Classification and guidelines have gained widespread acceptance bynational governments. The document is arranged as follows:Part I: The Classification of Pesticides by Hazard as recommended by theWHO. This part is not subject to periodic review and the classification tableand text can only be changed by resolution of the World Health Assemblyof the WHO: Class 1a: Extremely Hazardous Class 1b: Highly Hazardous Class II: Moderately Hazardous Class III: Slightly HazardousCategory IV: List of technical products unlikely to present acute hazardin normal use.Part II: Guidelines to Classification, which are revised at two yearlyintervals. Individual products are classified in a series of tables, accordingto the oral or dermal toxicity of the technical product, and its physicalstate. The tables are subject to review periodically.Other useful IPCS publications International Chemical Safety Cards (ICSCs) summarise essentialproduct identity data and health and safety information on chemicals;they are designed for use at workplace level http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/ipcs/icstart.html Data Sheets on Pesticides (PDS) contain health and safety informationon pesticides that are widely used in agriculture and/or public healthprogrammes, and that have high or unusual toxicity records Health and Safety Guides (HSGs) provide concise information on risksfrom exposure to chemicals, with practical advice on medical andadministrative issues; they are designed for a wide range ofadministrators, managers, and decision-makers Environmental Health Criteria provide assessments of the effects ofchemicals on human health and the environment; they are designed forscientific experts responsible for risk evaluation, enabling relevantauthorities to establish policies for the sound use of these chemicalsAll this information is now available – free of charge – on compact disksand web pages http://www.inchem.org243 Health, Safety and EnvironmentA Series of Trade Union EducationManuals for Agricultural Workers
