Title:
Appendices 1-18 to: Report on the Health Effects of Selected Pesticide Coformulants

Summary:
This report on health effects of 18 selected pesticide coformulants documents that the data on health effects of these substances generally were limited. Furthermore, the hazard assessments identified a number of toxicological effects; several of the coformulants were irritative to skin, eyes and respiratory tract, and serious health effects were observed for some coformulants as e.g., neurological, haemolytic and nephrotoxic effects, depression of the central nervous system, and sensitisation.

Abstract in Danish:
Denne rapport, som omhandler en toksikologisk vurdering af 18 udvalgte pesticidhjælpestoffer, dokumenterer, at der generelt er mangel på data vedrørende hjælpestoffers sundhedsmæssige effekter. Endvidere dokumenterer rapporten, at de udvalgte stoffer har en række sundhedsmæssige effekter. Mange af stofferne er irriterende for hud, øjne og luftveje, og nogle af stofferne har endog alvorlige sundhedsskadelige effekter som for eksempel påvirkning af vitale organer og allergifremkaldende egenskaber.
