This book investigates the toxicological impacts of pesticide use in industrial agriculture. It covers the effects of various pesticides on farm workers, non-target organisms, and the environment, detailing acute and chronic health risks. The text emphasizes assessment methodologies, safety measures, and sustainable practices to reduce pesticide toxicity. Suitable for agricultural toxicologists and environmental health professionals, it advances strategies for safer pesticide management in agriculture.
Levi Salas investigates the toxicity of pesticides used in industrial agriculture, focusing on their environmental and health impacts on workers and surrounding communities. His research explores how pesticides like glyphosate, chlorpyrifos, and atrazine affect human health, biodiversity, and ecosystem functionality. Levi has developed assessment tools and models to evaluate pesticide exposure levels and predict their toxicological effects in agricultural settings. He has published numerous studies on the mechanisms of pesticide toxicity and strategies for mitigating their adverse impacts. As an editor, Levi offers guidelines for toxicologists and agricultural professionals to assess and manage pesticide risks, promoting safer agricultural practices through informed toxicological assessments and interventions.
