The Pesticides Program of the Public Health Service is concerned with the assessment of the total effects of pesticides on the health of man in order to deal effectively with health problems associated with the use of pesticides. This mission requires the efforts of many trained persons, in various disciplines, in order to provide the basic laboratory research, epidemiologic and ecological studies, as well as consultation, training, and information services needed to evaluate more completely the risks entailed in the use of pesticides against the background of their great benefits. |
