PANNA: Demise of the Dirty Dozen 1995 Chart


Demise of the Dirty Dozen 1995 Chart

The 1995 "Demise of the Dirty Dozen" chart highlights bans and severe restrictions on the Dirty Dozen pesticides in 90 countries. Dirty Dozen pesticides are selected based on criteria including hazards to human or environmental health, evidence of widespread use and resulting harm, bans in exporting countries, and their value as examples of problems caused by pesticide dependence.


Hardcopy versions of Demise of the Dirty Dozen charts and background factsheets are also available from PANNA. See The PANNA shop.

________________
ABOUT THIS CHART

This 1995 "Demise of the Dirty Dozen" chart highlights bans
and severe restrictions on the Dirty Dozen pesticides in 90
countries. It also includes limited information on
unregistered pesticides, e.g. pesticides that were withdrawn
by the manufacturer, never registered, or whose registration
has expired. Unregistered pesticides are increasingly common,
partly because manufacturers often withdraw a product or
allow its registration to lapse to avoid the negative
publicity which accompanies an outright ban. The incidence of
unregistered pesticides is likely higher than indicated by
this chart, because information on unregistered pesticides is
less readily available than documentation of bans.

The effectiveness of pesticide bans and restrictions differs
greatly among countries, due to widely varying levels of
enforcement. While such actions are sometimes quite
effective, illegal use of banned or restricted pesticides
occurs in all countries; in some it is quite common. Still,
the frequency of regulatory actions against the Dirty Dozen
pesticides demonstrates widespread concern about their
hazards.

_____________________
ABOUT THE DIRTY DOZEN

In 1985, the Pesticide Action Network (PAN) launched the
Dirty Dozen Campaign to target a list of particularly
hazardous pesticides for strict controls, bans, and
ultimately elimination. The goals of the Campaign include:
ending the use of the Dirty Dozen wherever safe use can not
be assured; ensuring that human and environmental health are
considered foremost in all pesticide policy decisions;
eliminating double standards in the global pesticide trade;
and generating support for research and implementation of
sustainable pest control methods.

PAN International participants selected the Dirty Dozen
pesticides based on criteria that included: hazards to human
or environmental health, evidence of widespread use and
resulting harm, bans in exporting countries, and their value
as examples of problems caused by pesticide dependence. Dirty
Dozen pesticides are banned or unregistered in many countries
because of their known hazards. Yet many are still widely
promoted and used, especially in developing countries, where
weak controls and dangerous working conditions make their
impact even more devastating.

Certain pesticides are placed together on the Dirty Dozen
list because of their closely related chemical structures,
bringing the total to 18 individual pesticides, grouped into
a "baker's dozen" of 13.
