Scientists from several countries who study pesticides in the environment report recent developments in investigating the environmental impact of agricultural chemicals. They describe newly developed experimental methods and novel analytical techniques; the environmental fate of recently developed active ingredients, considering both specific compounds and broader topics such the fate of pesticides in tropical ecosystems; and refinements in risk assessment processes. Most of the 16 papers were presented at the Second Pan-Specific Conference on Pesticide Science, held at an undisclosed location and date, but some were invited after the conference to fill out the coverage.
