Pesticide Safety Data Sheets

Pesticide Data Sheets (PDSs) contain basic information for safe use of pesticides. The Pesticide Data Sheets are prepared by WHO in collaboration with FAO and give basic toxicological information on individual pesticides. Priority for development of PDSs is given to substances having a wide use in public health programmes and/or in agriculture, or having a high or an unusual toxicity record. The data sheets are prepared by scientific experts and peer reviewed. The comments of industry are provided through the industrial association, Groupement Intrenational des Associations Nationales de Fabricants de Produits Agrochemiques (GIFAP). The data sheets are revised from time to time as required.
