Abstract
While the mode of pesticide or herbicide action provides information about the acute toxicity of each agent to target species, a full understanding of the potential effects of each requires a greater understanding of acute toxicity as well as human metabolism and pharmacokinetics of each. To provide a context for a more detailed consideration of chronic health effects, the concept of body burden, that is, the amount of a particular chemical present and retained in a human or animal body and its implications to health from long-term or protracted exposure is also critical. These concepts are developed in the following chapter.
