From the Pesticide Action Network, a site to help people determine and reduce their pesticide load. Information includes whether substances are known carcinogens, neurotoxins, or endocrine disruptors, as well as whether they're affecting honeybees. Good tool to pass on to clients and loved ones.

From the website:

What’s On My Food? is a searchable database designed to make the public problem of pesticide exposure visible and more understandable.

How does this tool work? We link pesticide food residue data with the toxicology for each chemical, making this information easily searchable for the first time.

Use the tool, share it with others: we built it to help move the public conversation about pesticides into an arena where you don’t have to be an expert to participate.

At Pesticide Action Network (PAN), we believe that pesticides are a public health problem requiring public engagement to solve. We want you to have the information you need to take action based on a solid understanding of the issues. What’s On My Food? builds on PAN’s 28-year tradition of making pesticide science accessible.
