Overview
This book emphasizes the importance of scale-of-study when evaluating the environmental fate and transport characteristics of field-applied pesticides, including insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides.

Reviews
The papers of the eponymous symposium of the 215th American Chemical Society National Meeting (1998: Dallas, Texas) address the problem the movement of crop protection chemicals (synthetic insecticides, fungicides herbicides) away from points of application into nontarget natural resources, animals, and people. Individual studies from laboratory, text plot, and field investigations are grouped according to three agrogeographical regions, each distinct in its agronomic practice and scale of operation: the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, the Midwestern Plains, and California's San Joaquin Valley. Along the east coast and in the midwest, herbicides are the major problem; in the west, it's insecticides. The book is intended for the wide range of environmental and agricultural scientists and the many regulation and policy makers who need analysis of these complex phenomena. --SciTech Book News<br> This book presents a collection of studies on the fate and movement of pesticides that are focused on two paradigms (i)studies generating information that are scale-of-study dependent and (ii) studies across the USA where similarities and differences exist due to geographic features, climate patterns, and agronomic practices. . .The book provides several chapters that are useful from a pesticide monitoring and chemical analysis standpoint. Runoff studies both from a monitoring and modelling perspective are well presented. --J. Environ. Qual.<br>
