See Hardware and Software Requirements for details. Database users are guided to select records and fields of interest. Each record contains data for a specific pesticide or pest control ingredient. Each field contains comparable data for a specified endpoint or variable. A cell contains data for a specified record and field.
Cells are empty when there are no data for the specified record and field.
Results can be exported from the web to the user's spreadsheet software, enabling further data manipulation. Full references for data sources are given in Database References and Source Codes Data from regulatory agencies are primarily those required for the regulatory process. Subsequent iterations of the PCI Database will contain more data for non-regulatory assessment endpoints. These additional assessment endpoints will enable users to use the dataset to better understand impacts on higher levels of ecological organization and enable them to choose data most meaningful for their objectives. The database will be hosted by the Cornell University Center for the Environment.
