Mechanisms Of Pesticide Movement Into Ground Water

"This book is devoted to exploring the mechanism of pesticide movement into groundwater. It describes how pesticides enter ground water/drinking water systems and how regulatory decisions based on these mechanisms will affect the use of pesticides. Experimental results, models, and industry and regulatory perspectives are covered."--Provided by publisher Cover 1 Title Page 2 Copyright Page 3 Table of Contents 10 Introduction 12 Chapter 1 Overview of the Fate of Pesticides in the Environment, Water Balance; Runoff vs. Leaching 18 Chapter 2 Properties and Behavior of Pesticides in Soil 32 Chapter 3 Mobility of Pesticides in Field Lysimeters 60 Chapter 4 Studies on Pesticide Mobility: Laboratory vs. Field 80 Chapter 5 Remediation of Pesticide Contaminated Soil at Agrichemical Facilities 98 Chapter 6 Modeling the Movement of a RapidlyDegrading Solute, Methomyl, in Dynamic Soil-Water Systems 118 Chapter 7 Modeling the Degradation and Movement of Agricultural Chemicals in Ground Water 134 Chapter 8 Advances in Managing Agricultural Chemicals in Ground Water at the Farm Level 142 Chapter 9 Industry's Perspective on Pesticide Issues Relating to Ground Water 154 Chapter 10 National Pesticide Survey: Methods, Results, and Policy Implications 160 Chapter 11 Assessing Leaching Potential in California Under the Pesticide Contamination Prevention Act 172 Chapter 12 Natural and Man-Made Modes of Entry in Agronomic Areas 182 Chapter 13 Drinking Water — A Farm Woman's Perspective 194 Index 198 Introduction. 1.
