Organochlorine Pesticides and Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Foodstuffs from Asian and Oceanic Countries

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology ((RECT,volume 152))

Abstract

The need to increase world food production for the rapidly growing population is well recognized. One of the strategies to increase crop productivity is effective pest management because more than 30% of annual food production is lost to pest infestation (Pimentel 1992). In tropical countries, crop loss is even more severe because the prevailing high temperature and humidity are highly conducive to rapid multiplication of pests. Thus, the application of a wide variety of pesticides on crop plants is necessary in the tropics to combat pests and diseases. Although there is a wide variety of pesticides, only a few fully satisfy the basic requirements of low cost, effectiveness, and safety. The economic situation of farmers in tropical developing countries renders the choice that of considering cheaper and effective pesticides with less emphasis on safety (Plestina 1989).
