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.
