Isotope Techniques for Studying the Fate of Persistent Pesticides in the Tropics. Report of the Final Research Coordination Meeting on the Fate of Persistent Pesticides in the Tropics, Using Isotope Techniques Held in Bangkok, 25-29 January 1988

摘要

The coordinated research program reported here was established in 1982 to investigate the fate of commonly used persistent pesticides, under a range of tropical and sub-tropical conditions. At the third and final meeting in Bangkok, Thailand 1988, fourteen papers were presented by nine participants. These studies demonstrated clearly that DDT and lindane do not behave in tropical soils in the same way as they do in temperate soils. They support data that show that persistent pesticides dissipate much faster in the tropics than in temperate climates. Refs, figs and tabs. (Atomindex citation 20:015578)
