Sunlight photodegradation is one of the most destructive pathways for pesticides after their
release into the environment. Plant surfaces, especially leaf surfaces, are the first reaction …

Publisher Summary The behavior of pesticides in soils has been the subject of research
long before pollution became a byword. In recognition that soil is the ultimate sink for most …

Photolysis on soil surfaces is an important degradation pathway for many agrochemicals.
Although the investigation of photochemical pesticide transformation on soil surfaces is …

The effects of soil depth and moisture on pesticide photolysis were studied. Moist soil at
depths of 3, 2.5, 2, 1.5, 1, and 0.5 mm were each dosed at 2.5 μg/g with 14C-niclosamide …

Photochemical degradation contributes to the environmental fate of many pesticides in
surface waters. A better understanding of the role of direct and indirect photochemical …

The photochemical degradation of herbicides belonging to different chemical groups has
been investigated in different types of natural waters (ground, river, lake, marine) and …

Pesticides are intensively used in agriculture, and much effort is expended to manage and
reduce possible deleterious effects on the environment. The soil compartment has a major …

Volatilization may represent a major dissipation pathway for pesticides applied to soils or
crops, accounting for up to 90% of the application dose in some cases. This paper collects …

Organic pesticides are major sources of soil pollution in agricultural lands. Most of these
pesticides are persistent and tend to bio accumulate in humans upon consumption of …

The current state of knowledge of the main aspects regarding the behaviour and fate of
pesticide residues in the soil environment is reviewed in this article. Once a pesticide is …
