Pesticide Background Statements. Volume 2. Fungicides and Fumigants

摘要

The individual Fungicide and Fumigant Background Statements have been compiled to provide a comprehensive review of the available information concerning the use, chemistry, toxicology, environmental fate, and comparative hazard of the herbicides in forest applications. References to the published literature at the end of each background statement are provided for those individuals who wish to independently evaluate the toxicological data and environmental fate information that is presented in summary form. In many instances, secondary sources, such as review articles, handbooks, and company technical data sheets, were used. Wherever possible in these instances, the primary source was also indicated and referenced, although it may not have been examined directly. Fungicides and fumigants included in the document are benomyl, captan, chlorothalonil, maneb, methyl bromide and chloropicrin.
