Status analysis on construction of domestic and foreign pesticide-related databases

  • The extensive use of chemical pesticides has posed many impacts on ecological environment and human health. A comprehensive database platform of pesticides can play a crucial role in the research of risk assessment on environmental pollutants, pollution control, pesticide management, and ecotoxicology. This review introduced an overview of six foreign pesticiderelated databases, including OpenFoodTox by European Food Safety Authority, CompTox Chemicals Dashboard by US Environmental Protection Agency, Pesticide Properties Database (PPDB), Pesticide Action Network (PAN), Ecotoxicology Database (ECOTOX), and TOXicology data NETwork (TOXNET). Their applications in pesticide risk management were analyzed by comparing the data indexes, advantages, and disadvantages of these foreign pesticide-related databases. In addition, this review also introduced the general characteristics and deficiencies of four domestic databases. Based on the characteristics of pesticide pollution in China and the experience of foreign database construction, it is urgent to make breakthroughs in establishing an authoritative pesticide-related database:standardizing pesticide data management; establishing a comprehensive, informative, valid, and shared pesticide-related database; and emphasizing on the toxicity data of indigenous Chinese species.
