PROBABILISTIC RISK ASSESSMENT OF COTTON PYRETHROIDS: III. A SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF THE MISSISSIPPI, USA, COTTON LANDSCAPE

摘要

Estimates of potential aquatic exposure concentrations arising from the use of pyrethroid on cotton produced using conventional procedures outlined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Pesticide Programs Environmental Fate and Effects Division seem unrealistically high. Accordingly, the assumptions inherent in the pesticide exposure assessment Modeling scenarios were examined using remote sensing of a significant Mississippi, USA, cotton-producing country.
