"A pesticide information project of cooperative extension offices of Cornell University [and others]." Includes bibliographical references.

Abstract: The objective of EXTOXNET (Extension Toxicology Network), a cooperative educational project, is to provide pesticide toxicology information in comprehensive terms to County Agents and pesticide applicators. This manual utilizes two formats to convey information: PIPs, Pesticide Information Profiles, and TIBs, Toxicology Information Briefs. The PIPs cover toxicology and ecological impact of specific pesticides. The TIBs explain terminology and information contained in the PIPs. Pesticide related subjects including carcinogenicity, exposure standards, pesticides in food, and many others are discussed in the TIBs. The glossary and charts of pesticide toxicities are useful features. The looseleaf format permits updating and addition of yet to be completed TIBs.
