is the damage a substance can do upon repeated or continuous exposure
over a period of time. - ANSWER Chronic toxicity
is the ability to cause tumors/cancers. - ANSWER Oncogenicity
is the ability to induce a mutation or change a heritable characteristic. -
ANSWER Mutagenicity
is the ability to induce injury to a fetus. - ANSWER Fetotoxicity
is the ability to cause birth defects. - ANSWER Teratogenicity
is the ability to damage the nervous system. - ANSWER Neurotoxicity
is the study of the occurrence and distribution of disease, mortality, or
other adverse effects in populations and their relationship to contributing
or associated factors. Unlike toxicology, it examines normally-occurring
hazards, not ones artificially applied by a researcher. - ANSWER
Epidemiology
, are studies in which the investigator separates populations according to
their degree of exposure to some risk factor and then observes these
populations for adverse effects. - ANSWER Prospective/forward
epidemiological studies
are studies in which the investigator separates populations according to
adverse effects and then looks for associated factors. - ANSWER
Retrospective/backward epidemiological studies
management practices that aim at keeping pests at economically
insignificant levels. - ANSWER Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
The era of reliance on synthetic pesticides began about the time of
_____ - ANSWER WW2
organisms that become a problem after key parasite and predator
species are killed. - ANSWER Secondary pests
aims at using cultural methods that discourage pests or interfere with
their reproduction, by using selected or genetically engineered resistant
crop plants, by conserving beneficial predator or parasite species, and by
using pesticide applications that are strategically applied for maximum
benefit and minimal harm. A parallel task is discouraging chemical
resistance in pests. A central assumption is that a low level of pests are
tolerable. It is rarely a substitute for pesticides, rather used to enhance
their effectiveness or lower their overall use. - ANSWER IPM
are clean, disease free seed, adjusting planting and harvesting dates,
good drainage, crop rotation, adequate fertilization, and field sanitation.
