Abstract:
A new Department of Defense contingency pesticide usage database (CPUD) was developed for collecting and reporting overseas pest management operations data. The CPUD contains data that was downloaded from the Defense Occupational and Environmental Health Readiness System (DOEHRS) and thousands of additional records that were never uploaded into the DOEHRS system. The CPUD contains 282,491 individual pesticide usage records from contingency operations worldwide. This new database is easy to use and interrogate to analyze the data and develop summary graphs and charts. The new CPUD is easily searchable and provides carefully selected and comprehensive data criteria for use by entomology, public health, epidemiology, environmental health, medical and operational professionals and is a significant improvement over current data stored in DOEHRS.
