Terrestrial Field Dissipation Studies: Purpose, Design, and Interpretation

Terrestrial Field Dissipation Studies: Purpose, Design, and Interpretation discusses the design, conduct, and interpretation of terrestrial field dissipation studies. Field studies provide information on the effects of agricultural chemicals in the environment. Field studies differ from laboratory studies because they study the effects of active ingredients in soil and/or water under actual field conditions as opposed to a controlled environment in the laboratory.
Terrestrial Field Dissipation Studies: Purpose, Design, and Interpretation includes analytical method requirements, examples of modeling pesticide dissipation, and summaries of regulatory guidelines, such as the EPA/PMRA proposed guidance in 1998.
