STRATEGY AND TACTICS OF TNE PESTICIDE MUTAGENECITY ASSESSMENT

Abstract

Toxicological and hygienic risk assessment of pesticides widespread use to human health includes the analysis of their mutagenic activity as a compulsory part. A risk assessment strategy of pesticides mutagenic impacts based on their hygiene classification by mutagenicity criterion is presented. Changes in tactical approaches having occurred recently are considered. A set of methods harmonized with international requirements for assessment of mutagenic activity of pesticides, main metabolites and components of their preparative forms is recommended. It allows to determine a hazard class by a given harmful index. Issues are considered in respect to the usage of short-time testing for assessment of generic pesticides mutagenicity, determination of preparative forms potential genotoxicity and forecasting carcinogenic properties of substances under consideration.
