Swedish legislation on pesticides

G. Weissglas ; Health division, Swedish National Board of Occupational Health and Safety, Stockholm

Abstract

The Swedish Environment Protection Act, Public Health Act, Poisonous Substances Ordinance and Pesticide Ordinance enable the authorities to restrict the use of substances dangerous to the environment or prohibit their use if this is considered necessary. Certain organic mercury compounds, phenoxy acids, aldrin, dieldrin, DDT, lindane, polychlorinated, biphenyls and aminotriazol are thus restricted or prohibited. The author discusses the motives and objects of the legislation.
