Pesticide Risk Reduction: An International Guideline

lead: Paul Jepson

This shortened version of this guide includes a table of pesticides considered "lower-risk", a have minimum PPE requirements. This table may be helpful for applicators when PPE is in short supply due to local or global emergencies such as Coronavirus. 

This document is a supplement to the paper Selection of pesticides to reduce human and environmental health risks: a global guideline and minimum pesticides list, published in the Lancet: Planetary Health, March 2020. See the article about the paper in the Spring Issue of Oregon IPM Insider.
