Suter, II, G. W.

The traveler attended a workshop on Terrestrial Field Testing of Pesticides and presented a paper on Risk Assessment Models. The workshop addressed the role of field testing in assessment and discussed procedures for testing. Environmental assessment problems are similar for pesticides and other chemicals, but such problems are accentuated for pesticides because of their high toxicity and the fact that these substances are applied at rates that are intended to be bioactive. The major issue of contention was the relative roles of laboratory testing, filed testing, and monitoring the effects of pesticide use.
