Side 99 - pesticide chemical" means any substance which, alone, in chemical combination or in formulation with one or more other substances, is an "economic poison" within the meaning of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (7 USC, sees.
Side 36 - Such regulations shall take into account the difference in concept and usage between various classes of pesticides and differences in environmental risk and the appropriate data for evaluating such risk between agricultural and nonagricultural pesticides.
Side 273 - It is probable that almost every plant product in the supermarket contains natural carcinogens." Among the commonplace foods Ames lists as containing natural carcinogens are apples, bananas, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, celery, cocoa, grapefruit juice, horseradish, mushrooms, mustard, orange juice, pepper, pineapples, radishes, turnips, and many others. Ames, of course, does not intend to set off a panic in the pantry. His message is that since we haven't been harmed by a diet of naturally carcinogenic...

Side 259 - Furthermore, the assumption of an underlying log-probit [tumor yield plotted against the log, 0 (dose)] distribution has no particular biological justification [our emphasis], since there is no mechanistic model of carcinogenesis that logically leads to its use. In addition, the probit model—will typically generate an estimate of low-dose risk that falls well below any produced by. . .competitive techniques in spite of the fact that those who advocate its use often characterize it as a conservative...
Side 420 - Unreasonable adverse effects on the environment. — The term "unreasonable adverse effects on the environment" means any unreasonable risk to man or the environment, taking into account the economic, social, and environmental costs and benefits of the use of any pesticide.
