Toxicology of Monocrotophos

Toxicological data that were generated in the early 1960s met the state of the art for that time. New tests were performed as science and regulatory requirements developed. The aim of this presentation is to reflect today’s assessment of the existing data. As a rule, only the latest studies in each field have been included. The reference list contains titles of preceding reviews in which the bibliography of early studies, rendered obsolete through changed regulatory requirements, is accessible. All experimental data pertinent to assessing the safety of monocrotophos to users and consumers have been included.
