The third edition of the Hayes’ Handbook of Pesticide Toxicology, 2-Volume Set has been published, for which Dr Sandra Allen of RSA has been a significant contributor.

This landmark reference work consists of 2 volumes and totals approximately 3,530 pages. Written by international experts from academia, government, and the private sector, the Handbook of Pesticide Toxicology is an in-depth examination of critical issues related to the need for, use of, and nature of chemicals used in modern pest management. This updated third edition carries on the book’s tradition of serving as the definitive reference on pesticide toxicology and recognizes the seminal contribution of Wayland J. Hayes, Jr., co-editor of the first edition.

Key features include:

• A comprehensive look at all aspects of toxicology, with a clear exposition of hazard-identification and dose-response relationships in each chapter featuring pesticide agents and actions

• All major classes of pesticides while critically evaluating the different routes of pesticide exposure

This major reference work is available online via ScienceDirect with full search and linking capability, as well as in a limited print edition. Be sure to encourage your institution to purchase a copy today!
