Download or read book Pesticide Risk in Groundwater written by Marco Vighi and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pesticide pollution of groundwater results from agricultural practices, the properties of the substance and its behavior in the soil environment, and the characteristics of aquifers and their vulnerability. Pesticide Risk in Groundwater provides an overview of the main issues concerning pesticide pollution of groundwater worldwide. The book is divided into five sections. Section I reviews experimental data of groundwater monitoring to indicate the extent of the problem on a global basis. Based on this evaluation, herbicides are examined in depth. Section II describes predictive approaches to estimate the distribution and fate of pesticides, and includes a chapter devoted to hydrogeological aspects affecting the vulnerability of aquifers. The third section evaluates pesticides in relation to their toxicology. It critically examines the criteria and procedures by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to define quality objectives, and compares the monitoring data on pesticides in groundwater with their quality objectives. Section IV evaluates various strategies to control and prevent groundwater pollution problems. Different water treatment options are described from a technical and economic point of view. The main preventative actions include the chemical approach, the agronomic approach, and the land use approach. The final section reviews the state of the art of drinking water regulations in the EEC, the United States, and other OECD countries. The author describes the economic implications of groundwater pollution and its control and exemplifies with a real case study.

Download or read book Pesticides in Drinking Water written by David I. Gustafson and published by Van Nostrand Reinhold Company. This book was released on 1993 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the dangers of pesticide contamination in water supplies? Can the problem be eliminated? Are the available technologies adequate to remedy or alleviate the risks? What government regulations are currently in place, and how effective is the protection they offer? This comprehensive resource provides a collection of all known, up-to-date information regarding the occurrence of pesticides in drinking water. Gustafson furnishes definitive examinations regarding the different types of pesticides in drinking supplies, how they get there, and what is being done to remedy the problem. Bringing together historic data, current trends in scientific thought, regulatory tactics, and future technical strategies, Pesticides in Drinking Water provides an inclusive, single source for understanding how best to monitor and control the problem. The author provides: Case studies for a more detailed, historical perspective A review of current monitoring data Intricate descriptions of accidental spills and misuses of pesticides An explanation of the dangers of leaching and run-off from properly applied chemicals Recent surveys of drinking water quality A look at current industrial and government regulations Examples of the technology utilized to treat pesticides in water supplies An examination of new and safer pesticides This effective reference guide is invaluable for chemists and biologists in the agricultural-chemistry profession, environmental consultants and engineers, farmers, government inspectors, and regulatory managers. Presented in an accurate, technical, but fully accessible style, Pesticides in Drinking Water is also ideal for students, scholars, or any-one concerned about water quality and the environmental hazards of pesticides.

Download or read book Pesticide Risk Assessment written by Sumitra Arora and published by CABI. This book was released on 2019-04-08 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have been witnessing a silent chemical revolution over the past half century. Pesticides bring widespread environmental contamination, with residues detected far from their site of application. These substances are playing havoc with the lives of humans and the environment because of their indiscriminate use. Pesticide Risk Assessment describes the environmental risks associated with the injudicious use of pesticides and their mixtures, their methods of estimation and assessment, and their regulation. It also contains methods to reduce and minimize the risks associated with the use of pesticides. The book: Examines pesticides, their impact on the environment, mode of action, estimation methods, risk assessment, mixture toxicity, alternatives for risk reduction, and regulatory aspects.Includes global case studies detailing cases of pesticide poisoning, and the health effects of exposure to pesticides. Covers risks to human health, aquifers and aquatic organisms, pollinators, soil micro flora and fauna, terrestrial organisms and wildlife. Suitable for anyone involved in pesticide application and integrated pest management, this is essential reading for researchers, scientists, extension workers and policy makers.

Download or read book Pesticide Risk Assessment in Rice Paddies Theory and Practice written by Ettore Capri and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-08-11 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rice is cultivated throughout the world under submerged conditions. The high water requirements and the heavy pesticide load used in rice paddies worldwide have resulted in contamination of associated surface water, such as streams, ditches, rivers and lakes. The uniform risk assessment approach which has been developed for other crops is not applicable to rice paddies, because of the specific conditions applied to rice cultivation. Pesticide Risk Assessment in Rice Paddies: Theory and Practice fills the gap in information on this subject. Written by experts, this book summarizes the methods used for pesticide risk assessment in rice paddies, the limitations and problems encountered and future developments. It also examines the various agronomic, pesticide application and risk assessment approaches used in different rice cultivated zones in Asia, America and Europe and is an essential reference for those working in this area. * The only up-to-date book dealing with pesticide risk assessment in the flooded conditions of rice paddies * Offers guidelines on the use and application of existing modeling tools, specific for rice cultivation * Presents the differences and similarities in rice cropping systems and how these relate to pesticide risk assessment
