About us

Active Ingredient(s) + Other/Inert Ingredient(s) = Pesticide Product

Pesticide products include both active ingredients and other ingredients. Active ingredients are used to kill, control or repel the pest. Other ingredients may do a variety of jobs, like attracting the pest, spreading the active ingredients around, and/or reducing drift.

In order to know the risk associated with a pesticide, both toxicity and exposure must be considered. The toxicity depends on the ingredients in a product.
