5. Managing Hazards and Residues
Pesticide residues are a matter of great concern since members of the general public perceive a risk, but feel it is a matter over which they have little control. In response, authorities attempt to regulate by setting standards and monitoring exposure.
This results (necessarily) in an arcane set of procedures and terminologies.
A full list of terminologies and acronyms can be found on www.dropdata.org/download, with some of the more common ones listed in Appendix 1.
Again, this booklet can only summarise these complex issues, but full accounts can be obtained from Standard texts. [1] [2]
