Windows Pesticide Screening Tool

The Windows Pesticide Screening Tool (WIN-PST) can be used to evaluate the potential for pesticides to move with water and eroded soil/organic matter.  Long-term human and fish toxicity data and ratings are also included with WIN-PST.  These toxicity ratings can be combined with the off-site movement potential ratings to provide an overall rating of the potential risks from pesticide movement below the root zone and past the edge of the field.
