AB  - Pesticides  include  chemicals,  as  well  as  biological  and  physical  agents,  used  to  control  a  diverse  array  of  pests.  The  products  used  have  evolved  since  the  1930s  when  arsenic  was  the  principal  insecticide  used.  During  and  after  World  War  II  (WWII),  organochlorines  and  cholinesterase  inhibitors  supplanted  many  common  uses  of  arsenic,  along  with  the  use  of  synthetic  pyrethrins  (pyrethroids).  Pesticides  currently  registered  in  the  United  States  include  1055  active  ingredients  formulated  into  13,413  separate  products.
