Pesticide entry into humans

Persistence in the environment (soil, water, plants, and living organisms) determines the possibility of pesticide entry into the human body through food, water, and ambient air. All pesticides may tentatively be divided into four groups, according to their environmental stability in water and soil (Medved et al. 1968) as follows ...
