Abstract
Hygienic classifications of pesticides used in the Russian Federation are p resented. The classifications cover both technical products and preparative forms of pesticides. Four classes of hazards are distinguished: extremely hazardous, hazardous, moderately hazardous, and slightly hazardous. These f our classes are used for classifying general toxicity (peroral, skin, inhal ation), cumulative, allergic, teratogenic, embryotoxic, reproductive, mutag enic, carcinogenic effects, and the stability in soil. The class of the haz ard is determined on the basis of toxicohygienic evaluation of a pesticide, taking into account a limiting criterion Of the hazard. (C) 1998 Academic Press.
