Banned pesticide means a pesticide all uses of which have been prohibited by final regulatory action, to protect human health or the environment. It includes a pesticide that has been refused approval for first-time use or has been withdrawn by industry either from the domestic market or from further consideration in the domestic approval process, and where there is clear evidence that such action has been taken to protect human health or the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Co-formulant means a non-active ingredient component of a formulated product. Exposure to pesticides means any contact between a living organism and one or more pesticides.<\/span><\/p>\n

Formulation means the combination of various ingredients designed to render the product useful and effective for the purpose claimed and for the envisaged mode of application.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hazard means the inherent property of a substance, agent or situation having the potential to cause undesirable consequences (e.g. properties that can cause adverse effects or damage to health, the environment or property).<\/span><\/p>\n

Highly Hazardous Pesticides means pesticides that are acknowledged to present particularly high levels of acute or chronic hazards to health or environment according to internationally accepted classification systems such as WHO or GHS or their listing in relevant binding international agreements or conventions. Besides, pesticides that appear to cause severe or irreversible harm to health or the environment under conditions of use in a country may be considered to be and treated as highly hazardous.<\/span><\/p>\n

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) means the careful consideration of all available pest control techniques and subsequent integration of appropriate measures that discourage the development of pest populations and keep pesticides and other interventions to levels that are economically justified and reduce or minimize risks to human and animal health and\/or the environment. IPM emphasizes the growth of a healthy crop with the least possible disruption to agro-ecosystems and encourages natural pest control mechanisms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Integrated Vector Management (IVM) means the rational decision-making process for the optimal use of resources for disease vector control. It aims to improve efficacy, cost-effectiveness, ecological soundness and sustainability of disease vector control interventions for the control of vector-borne diseases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pesticide means any substance, or a mixture of substances of chemical or biological ingredients intended for repelling, destroying or controlling any pest, or regulating plant growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pesticide management means the regulatory and technical control of all aspects of the pesticide life cycle, including production (manufacture and formulation), authorization, import, distribution, sale, supply, transport, storage, handling, application and disposal of pesticides and their containers to ensure safety and efficacy and to minimize adverse health and environmental effects and human and animal exposure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Risk is the probability and severity of adverse health or environmental effect occurring as a function of a hazard and the likelihood and the extent of exposure to a pesticide.<\/span><\/p>\n

Severely restricted pesticide means a pesticide virtually all use of which has been prohibited by final regulatory action to protect human health or the environment, but for which certain specific uses remain allowed. It includes a pesticide that has, for virtually all use, been refused for approval or been withdrawn by industry either from the market or from further vii consideration in the domestic approval process, and where there is clear evidence that such action has been taken to protect human health or the environment.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Technical guidance for management of public health pesticides” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%231e73be” google_fonts=”font_family:ABeeZee%3Aregular%2Citalic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]The International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management, developed collaboratively by FAO and WHO, sets out a framework and standards of conduct for managing pesticides throughout their life cycle.
