Progress in Pesticide Biochemistry and Toxicology, Volume 9: Environmental Behaviour of Agrochemicals

Progress in Pesticide Biochemistry and Toxicology #9

by T.R. Roberts (Editor), P.C. Kearney

Volume 5 updates current knowledge of the major insecticide classes and reviews relevant issues in insecticide biochemistry. Volume 6 is devoted to herbicides and plant growth regulators. Covers the status of various herbicides, measurement of worker exposure, the importance of environmental factors due to herbicide movement in soil and more. Volume 7 presents reviews by experts in the field of topical issues on the environmental impact of pesticides. Volume 8 combines diverse aspects of pesticide metabolism studies in mammals to provide an understanding of the toxicity of the test compound and of the parameters which assist in the extrapolation from animal to man. Volume 9 assesses the movement of agrochemicals into ground water from a variety of perspectives. Emphasizing pesticide contamination and its subsequent effects, it offers in-depth treatment of the volatization of agrochemicals and estimation of their physicochemical properties. Includes novel approaches to analyze environmental samples and reviews of current computer modelling techniques.
