Environmental Dynamics of Pesticides (Environmental Science Research)
Description
vii + 387 p., numerous figures and tables. Because pesticides have entered the biosphere as persistent toxic chemicals, this volume explores the concept of pesticide chemodynamics, examining the behavior of chemicals in air, water, soil, and the biota. Topics discussed include modeling in the environment, photochemical behavior, adsorption, leaching and breakdown, vapor loss, interaction with biological macromolecules, and detoxication of pesticides by the biota.
