HISTORY OF PEST MANAGEMENT: HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF ORGANOPHOSPHATE POISONS
  This resource lists key events in the history of pest management. An historical perspective is important for a complete understanding of any subject and pest management is no exception. There are always lessons to be learned from history although too often these pass unnoticed and unheeded because they are rarely taught as part of the subject of pest management in our schools and colleges. The brief outline of the key events in the history of pest management that are presented here provide a framework on which to hang other knowledge, facts and figures. - Compiled by Dr David Dent [Sections in red added by Stephen Tvedten]

Obsolete pesticides in developing countries
  The level of obsolete pesticides in developing countries is increasing. This hazardous waste is often kept in sub-standard conditions which pose a threat to human health and the environment. Alemayehu Wodageneh and Harry van der Wulp recommend urgent action be taken to dispose of obsolete pesticides in a safe and environmentally acceptable manner. A start has been made through the FAO-organised disposal operations in Uganda and the Yemen.
