Produktbeschreibung

The extent and seriousness of the potential hazards due to pesticides still remains to be fully defined. This book compiles current knowledge on pesticide residues in a single volume. Featuring contributions by eminent scientists from around the world, it describes the fate and transport of pesticides and their degradation in the environment. The text covers the effects of pesticides on in humans, birds and mammals, fish, soil invertebrates, soil microflora, aquatic invertebrates, surface and groundwater, milk products, and more. It also addresses endocrine-disrupting pesticides and explores biopesticides as alternatives to chemical pesticides.
