L andscape A nd N ursery D ialog Mary Ann Rose Commercial Landscape The Ohio State University December, 1997 The Fate of Pesticides in the Environment Keywords: environment, regulations, water quality, herbicides I recently read an article entitled ÎPesticide Fears May Only Be a Smoke Screenâ (smoke screen for what they didnât say). Everything said in the article was true; further I can appreciate the motivation for the article, which was perhaps to calm the publicâs fears about pesticides. Nevertheless, I think the author dealt with the issue of pesticides in the environment too shallowly. In my opinion, claiming that pesticides, when properly used, pose no more risk than aspirin or flea collars isnât a good argument; after all, nobodyâs applying those to millions of acres of farmland (just imagine that, if you can)! Also the qualifying statement - when properly used - is the major weakness in the argument. My guess is that many folks worry the that pesticides may be used haphazardly and unnecessarily. Letâs adress the publicâs concerns by reassuring them that we are responsible pesticide users and that we are also concerned about what happens to pesticides in the environment. Understanding the processes that remove pesticides from the environment will not only help us use them safely, but also more effectively. This article will focus on the fate of herbicides in the environment, but the mechanisms discussed are valid for all pesticides.

Publications KEEPING PESTICIDES OUT OF WATER LOCAL ENVIRONMENT RISK ASSESSMENT FOR PESTICIDES (LERAP) This document is also available in pdf format Introduction Most pesticide users are aware of the need for care in selecting and applying suitable products to their crops. Such action helps to minimise the amount of pesticide reaching ground or surface water by seepage or run-off from sprayed crops. This contributes to our water quality, keeps water treatment costs down and makes further restrictions on pesticide use less likely. Run-off from a crop is not, however, the only way that pesticide can enter our water. Spillage of concentrate or spray falling outside the crop area can also result in significant quantities reaching our water supplies. This booklet gives advice on good practice for handling pesticides before, during and after spraying. It also illustrates the pollution potential for concentrates and thus the importance of operator awareness and care. The EC limit for an individual pesticide in drinking water is 0.1 micrograms per litre (µg/1) - equivalent to one drop of concentrate in an Olympic-sized swimming pool.

Hazardous substances - road transport of dangerous goods What are pesticides? Plants, insects, bacteria, fungi and other organisms are a natural part of the environment. Some can benefit people in many ways. Some can also be pests that you may need or want to control. You can choose from many different methods to control a pest. One method is to use a pesticide. A pesticide is any substance or mixture of substances used to destroy, suppress or alter the life cycle of any pest. A pesticide can be a naturally derived or synthetically produced substance. A pesticide can also be an organism. There are currently about 3800 pesticide products registered for use in NSW by the National Registration Authority for Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals. These products are used extensively in both urban and rural environments.

Exporting Risk: Documenting Hazardous Trade Concern regarding the spread of hazardous pesticides throughout Earth's air, soil, water and food chain was a primary factor in the emergence of the environmental movement. Yet as we enter the twenty-first century, the pesticide question is far from resolved. No government on earth conducts independent evaluations of the toxicity or environmental impact of pesticides before allowing them on the market. At most, government officials review data submitted by pesticide manufacturers. Safety standards that do exist end at the borders of exporting countries. Pesticides that the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has judged too dangerous for domestic use, pesticides which are unsafe unless used under strict supervision, and pesticides never evaluated by EPA are routinely shipped from US ports. Many of these chemicals are bound for destinations in the developing world, where it has long been established that prevailing conditions-a lack of protective equipment, unsafe application and storage practices, inadequate training of pesticide applicators-increase their hazards. Since 1990, the Foundation has published reports documenting this tradethe only source of this information that is available in the public record. Over the years, partnerships and information exchanges have developed with a wide range of non-governmental groups, journalists, government agencies, researchers and concerned citizens throughout the world.

Key words : pesticides chlorinated hydrocarbons MMPI Bender-Gestalt WAIS-R neurotoxicity psychological/brain-function environmental sensitivity environmental control Abstract : The purpose of the present study was to determine (1) the extent to which chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides in environmentally sensitive patients would be reduced by Environmental Control Unit (ECU) treatment programs and (2) the correlation of brain-function/psychological test results with treatment effect. Before and after therapy studies were performed on 40 ECU patients with proven levels of blood pesticides. There was a significant decrease in magnitude of blood pesticides and a significant increase in performance on brain-function/psychological tests after ECU treatment. There was also a corresponding decrease in symptoms overall. It was concluded that rigid environmental controls in treatment strongly contributed to the decrease in blood pesticide levels. Further, a more serious psychological profile was associated with these patients who showed improvement consistent with treatment.

Harmful Effects on Surfaces Introduction The environment is everything that is around us. It includes not only the natural elements that the word "environment" most often brings to mind, but also people and the manmade components of our world. Neither is the environment limited to the outdoors it also includes the indoor areas in which we live and work. Anyone who uses a pesticide indoors or outdoors, in a city or in the country must consider how that pesticide will affect the environment. The user must ask two questions: How will this pesticide affect the immediate environment at the site where it is being used? What are the dangers that the pesticide will move out of the use site and cause harm to other parts of the environment? Pesticides can harm all types of environments if they are not used correctly. Responsible pesticide users know and follow good practices that achieve effective pest control with very little risk of environmental damage. Pesticide product labeling statements are intended to alert you to particular environmental concerns that a pesticide product poses.

Technical Information - Pesticides Special Environmental Concerns Protecting Ground Water and Endangered Species Introduction Protecting Groundwater Pesticide Contamination of Groundwater Practices for Pesticide Users ... The Applicator's Role Introduction Concerns about wildlife and the environment are becoming more Important in decisions about which pesticides will be registered and what they may be used for. Two environmental concerns are receiving particular attention: protection of ground water, and protection of endangered species. Federal and State efforts to protect ground water and endangered species are resulting in new instructions and limitations for pesticide handlers. Whether you apply pesticides indoors or outdoors, in an urban area or in a rural area, you must become aware of the importance of protecting these two vital national resources. Pesticides that are incorrectly or accidentally released into the environment either during application or during other handling activities, such as mixing, loading, equipment cleaning, storage, transportation, or disposal pose a threat to ground water and endangered species. Protecting Groundwater Ground water is water located beneath the earth's surface. Usually, it is located in rock and soil. It moves very slowly through irregular spaces within otherwise solid rock or seeps between particles of sand, clay, and gravel. Surface water may move several feet in a second or a minute. Ground water may move only a few feet in a month or a year. If the ground water is capable of providing significant quantities of water to a well or spring, it is called an

Links The EPU works with various state and federal agencies in issues related to ground water and surface water quality. The EPU completed a multi-agency study to determine the impact of labeled pesticide use on ground water quality in North Carolina both on crop and noncrop sites. In this study, water samples were analyzed for more than 140 chemicals. Locations were selected which had a history of specific pesticide use within the previous five years and where the ground water has a moderate to high risk of contamination. The results of the study indicated that no widespread ground water contamination existed; however, it did identify certain pesticides which are reaching the water and indicated sensitive areas where further monitoring and evaluation are needed. The results from this study coupled with other research initiatives will enable the N.C. Pesticide Board to determine the need for additional regulatory and/or educational initiatives. In addition, the EPU will be responsible for developing Ground Water and Pesticide Management Plans which will be required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for certain pesticides which are known to have the potential to contaminate groundwater.

Pesticides See also: Carcinogens Chemicals Endocrine Disruptors Integrated Pest Management ... Toxicants Glossary Terms Active ingredient In any pesticide product, the component that kills, or otherwise controls, target pests. Pesticides are regulated primarily on the basis of active ingredients. Air pollutant Any substance in air that could, in high enough concentration, harm man, other animals, vegetation, or material. Pollutants may include almost any natural or artificial composition of matter capable of being airborne. They may be in the form of solid particles, liquid droplets, gases, or in combination thereof. Generally, they fall into two main groups: (1) those emitted directly from identifiable sources and (2) those produced in the air by interaction between two or more primary pollutants, or by reaction with normal atmospheric constituents, with or without photoactivation. Fumigant A pesticide vaporized to kill pests. Used in buildings and greenhouses. Fungicide Pesticides which are used to control, deter, or destroy fungi. Inert ingredient Pesticide components such as solvents, carriers, dispersants, and surfactants that are not active against target pests. Not all inert ingredients are innocuous.
