摘要: Abstract The objective of this work was to review the appropriateness five pesticide risk indices for use in policy development and assessment UK. A common data set 133 pesticides, constituting 25 insecticides, three molluscicides, 40 fungicides, 60 herbicides plant growth regulators used enable a comparative evaluation indices. There poor correlation between ranking pesticides as given by each when only toxicological were calculation. improved on recommended application rates incorporated alongside calculations. wide variation products placed top 10 (most hazardous) bottom (least respective rankings based data. All showed degree clumping their classification with many being grouped together one quartile indices’ potential range. these is problematical. lack makes selection any particular index difficult, clearly results analysis undertaken will depend selected. Whilst calculation manipulation straightforward, collection difficult nearly all This major constraint utilisation policy.
