Pesticides in Surface Waters (eBook, ePUB)

Distribution, Trends, and Governing Factors

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Pesticde use in agriculture and non-agriculture settings has increased dramatically over the last several decades. Concern about adverse effects on the environment and human health has spurred an enormous amount of research into their environmental behavior and fate. Pesticides in Surface Waters presents a comprehensive summary of this research.
