Title:
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.
