Course Details
• Introduction to Pesticide Fate and Transport: Fundamentals of pesticide behavior in the environment, including persistence, transformation, and mobility.
• Pesticide Physico-Chemical Properties: Examination of the physical and chemical properties that influence pesticide fate, such as solubility, volatility, and octanol-water partition coefficient.
• Pesticide Transformation Processes: Discussion of abiotic (e.g., hydrolysis, oxidation) and biotic (e.g., microbial degradation) transformation processes that affect pesticide persistence.
