The impetus for this book came from numerous requests by public and
private agencies and citizens for information regarding the human
health effects of pes ticide exposures. We have tried to compile a
relatively complete, concise sum mary of the acute and chronic
health effects and the toxicology of pesticides in a format that
provides quick and easy access. This book was written to address
the needs of the following groups: medical and public health
professionals, tox icologists, environmentalists, industrial
hygienists, regulators, producers and users of pesticides, public
interest advocates, and the legal profession. Acknowledgments We
are indebted to Mr. Christopher J. Wiant, Chief of the
Environmental Chemistry Section of the Illinois Department of
Public Health. The financial support provided by his office was
essential in producing this book. We are also indebted to Dr.
Charles Benbrook, former staff member, and Representative George E.
Brown, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Depart ment Operations,
Research and Foreign Agriculture of the Committee on Agri culture,
United States House of Representatives, for their guidance in
obtain ing pesticide toxicity data. In the Freedom of Information
Office, Office of Pesticide Programs of the United States
Environmental Protection Agency, the patience and assistance of
Therese Murtagh and Virginia Salzman in obtaining documents are
appreciated. Of the numerous individuals who participated in the
production of this book, the following merit special recognition
for the quality of their research, editing, and critical skills:
Mark Loafman, Sue Ramirez, Steve Smith, Sally Burns, and Denise
Steurer."
