| Publisher Description: This book presents the new families of insecticides developed in the last few years as a "green" alternative to classical and more toxic agrochemicals - from advanced technology for insecticides design to mode of action and toxicological aspects. It highlights the negative environmental effects that organochlorine and organophosphorous insecticides have caused in nature: accumulation in water streams, poisoning of non-targeted species and beneficial insects, and toxic effects on people. This overview of insecticide chemistry is of interest to a vast group of researchers - agro chemists, biochemists, chemists, toxicologists, etc. The combination of both, chemical and toxicological aspects of insecticides is unique and the different approaches that involve "greener chemicals" are emphasized throughout. |
