Pesticides in water and air

Information about the physical properties of pesticides that affect their water and air pollution potential, as well as water quality standards can be found on the Chemical Detail page, accessible through the PAN Pesticide Database Chemical Search. Visit the site.

This page briefly describes the documentation available for this data set and provides links to more detailed information.

Physical Properties of Pesticides
Defines and describes the physical properties of pesticide chemicals that affect their ability to move through the environment through air and water, including water solubility, soil adsorption coefficient, half-life, Henry's Law constant, and vapor pressure.

Water Quality Standards, Criteria and Guidelines
Defines and describes a variety of water quality standards, criteria and guidelines. Water quality standards, criteria and guidelines represent "acceptable" concentrations in water, as determined by government agencies for various uses of water.
