Information

Pesticide Sales in Saskatchewan 2001-03 with associated health effects. These are the only 3 years for which data are available. See the bottom of the table for legend. The health effects have been taken from the PANNA pesticide data base. Question marks mostly indicate a lack of data in the area. These date are incomplete, with a maximum of 75% commercial vendors reporting. SK has no data whatsoever on domestic sales. Priducts brought in from the U.S. by anyone else other than a commercial vendor are also unaccounted for.

Pesticides don't just disappear from the environment or our bodies. They break down into other products, some being more toxic, some less, and many we know nothing about. Pesticides sales table with breakdown products.

The pesticide industry sales figurs given the the Canadian Senate in 2000 indicate over 17 million kg pesticides/year in SK and they keep reporting increasing sales.
