collaboration with FAO and give basic toxicological
information on individual pesticides. Priority for issue
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,
GIFAP. The data sheets are revised from time to time
as required.
