Description - Pesticides in Urban Environments: Fate and Significance by Kenneth D. Racke
This book is the first compilation of research information addressing concerns regarding the use of pesticides, their fate in the environment and their potential effects on man. In their use of the word "environment" the editors include home, garden, public park, golf course, or restaurant, etc. The book is divided into five sections. The first provides background information on the use patterns and practices characteristic of the urban pesticide market, and includes perspectives on the key issues facing that arena. The second section centres around the persistence and degradation of pesticides in urban environments. The topic of pesticide mobility (leaching, runoff, volatility) is the focus of the third, while sections four and five address biological exposure and risk assessment, to humans and non-target animals, respectively.
