Road transport also involves crossing rivers and major water bodies in some cases. We need precautions such as the Chinese have suggested for rivers and densely populated areas, when pesticides move across roads that have narrow, weak and outdated bridges.

The logistics functions of pesticides manufacturers and local regulators should ensure that emergency response procedures are documented and rehearsed, to protect natural wealth and people who live downstream from a potential accident zone.
