Pesticide Regulatory Frameworks

Pesticide regulatory frameworks are systems that government agencies use to ensure pesticides are used safely and effectively. They evaluate the health and environmental risks associated with pesticides before approving their use. Regulations set limits on how much can be used, determine approved types and brands, and establish safety practices for applicators. These frameworks also involve continuous monitoring, testing, and re-evaluation to protect people, non-target species, and ecosystems, balancing the benefits of pest control with potential hazards. Overall, they help ensure pesticides do their job without causing unacceptable harm.
