Abstract:

State departments of transportation across the country use herbicides in roadside vegetation management and insect control. Significant employee, public health, and environmental issues arise from such use. Issues of potential exposure, health risks, health monitoring, and risk management have assumed importance in design and maintenance of transport corridors. Programs that address these issues are described, including a numerical, relative hazard rating scale for ranking herbicides and pesticides. The state of Maine Department of Transportation has incorporated such programs into its decision making regarding use and restriction of herbicides. The programs, program results, and critique of program capabilities and limitations are described. Critical issues facing prospective consumers and providers of such programs are analyzed.
