Glossary of Terms Relating to Pesticides
The glossary contains definitions of more
than 500 terms frequently used in relation to the chemistry,
mode of action, regulation, and use of pesticides. A wide
range of disciplines are involved in this field and the glossary
was developed as a step in facilitating communication between
researchers, government regulatory authorities, and chemists
in associated professional areas. The range of terms relates
to pesticide residue analysis, sampling for analysis, good
laboratory practice, metabolism, environmental fate, effects
on ecosystems, computer simulation models, toxicology, and
risk assessment. The number of important, ‘pesticide-related’
terms has more than doubled since 1996, when the first IUPAC
glossary of this type was developed [Pure
Appl. Chem. 68,
1167–1193 (1996)], an indication of how this field has
become so integrated with many other scientific and regulatory
disciplines.
