We have included both human health and environmental risks in our classification system for pesticides. By undertaking a comprehensive analysis of hundreds of compounds, we have subdivided most currently used pesticides on the basis of a common platform of risk criteria. Of particular note is the identification of a group of lower risk pesticides. Although human health risks alone would justify development of this lower risk classification, there are important environmental risks that can also be mitigated or reduced if pesticides are selected from this class.
