Predicting pesticide residue masses in environments requires time-and cost-efficient fate
models, particularly for high-throughput simulations of hundreds of active ingredients …

The global population has grown dramatically increasing the needs for food (Tilman et al.,
2002). To satisfy the food needs, farmers of all countries have implemented the green …

Purpose Residues in field crops grown and harvested for human consumption are the main
contributor to overall human exposure toward agricultural pesticides for the general …

The uptake of organic contaminants by root vegetables involves diffusion, transport by xylem
and phloem saps, degradation, and volatilization. To understand the role of uptake and …

Human intake of pesticide residues from consumption of processed food plays an important
role for evaluating current agricultural practice. We take advantage of latest developments in …

BACKGROUND Degradation kinetics of pesticides in plants are crucial for modeling
mechanism‐based pesticide residual concentrations. However, due to complex open‐field …

A new dynamic plant uptake model is presented to characterize health impacts of pesticides
applied to food crops, based on a flexible set of interconnected compartments. We assess …

Uptake characteristics of endosulfan (ED), including α-, β-isomers and sulfate-metabolites,
from the soils by carrot and potato plants were investigated to establish a method that may …

Why do we age and die? Aging, or senescence as it is sometimes called, is an inevitable
progressive deterioration of physiological function with increasing age, demographically …

BACKGROUND Limited understanding of the fate of pesticides in apple orchards may lead
to recurring pests or pose risks to food safety. In this study, through a field experiment …
