Toxics Webinar | Existing Formulations of Pesticides: More Toxic Than Active Ingredients? 26 May 2023


Today, pesticide toxicology is essentially based on the toxicity of active ingredients. Could this be wrong? Since numerous discoveries have recently been made on the toxicity of pesticide formulations in relation the declared active ingredients at different levels, from environment to animal and human cells, and in organs or in vivo, are new regulations necessary? After a presentation of these discoveries, new regulations can be proposed by participants of this webinar.
