Environmental risk-based standards for pesticide use in Canada / Mineau, P., T. Dawson, M. Whiteside, C. Morrison, K. Harding, L. Singh, T. Längle, and D.A.R. McQueen.: En4-95/7E-PDF
"The present report assembles a sufficient empirical database of terrestrial and aquatic field studies to translate laboratory-based toxicity (hazard) indices into an actual probability of impact for most key environmental sectors potentially affected by pesticide use. The passage from a hazard-based assessment of individual pesticides or pesticide use patterns to a risk-based one is a critical step in getting the agricultural community to accept the proposed standards. Only by possessing a reasonable estimate of the actual impacts of pesticides can the risks and benefits of different agricultural interventions, including pesticide use, be weighted against each other"--Key findings, page iii.
