Abstract :
[en] The risks to fauna associated with the use of pesticides are generally known for individual pesticides. There exists, however, a lack of pub Iished material providing comparative coverage of all pesticides, although some partial compilations have been published. ln an attempt to redress this situation, we propose here a Toxicity Index covering fish, birds and bees for 169 currently available insecticides.
