Gateway on Pesticide Hazards and Safe Pest Management
Beyond Pesticides has created a new database tool that is intended to provide decision and policy makers, practitioners and activists with easier access to current and historical information on pesticide hazards and safe pest management, drawing on and linking to numerous sources and organizations that include information related to pesticide science, policy and activism.
Currently, the Gateway lists over 80 pesticides and contains the following information:
- Beyond Pesticides ChemWatch Fatsheet
- General information: product names, chemical class, uses & alternatives, toxicity rating
- Health and environmental effects and citations
- Regulatory status
- Key studies
- Supporting information: other factsheets, studies, databases and reports (send us your resources)
We look forward to hearing from you and working with you to ensure that the Gateway contributes to increased effectiveness in moving to the adoption of pest management policies and practices that better protect health and the environment. If you have reports, factsheets, databases, articles, commentary that you think should be made available through the Gateway, please send them to gateway@beyondpesticides.org.
