Fate and Prediction of Environmental Chemicals in Soils, Plants and Aquatic Systems

This text focuses on the chemical persistence and ecotoxicological behaviour of pesticides in soil, water and plants. The book examines recent developments in research on various substances and relays information regarding transport, adsorption, absorption, accumulation, degradation, biological effects, toxicity to aquatic organisms, air pollution, exposure and risk estimation. Leading international scientists present their advances in analytical methodology and instrumentation in the fields of agrochemicals and environmental chemistry.
