Predicting fate
Jim Blair, Milton and Edgewood College
Large quantities of agrochemicals are applied to farm fields every
year. What happens to them? How are they transported and
transformed? How long do they last in the soil? How
rapidly do they move through soil to reach the ground water?
Where do they end up?
This has been studied after the chemicals have been applied.
In this talk I will describe the development of a series of
laboratory procedures that attempt to predict the environmental fate
of new agrochemicals before they are applied.
