    • 1 Edición
    • Golam Jalal Ahammed + 1 más
    • Inglés
    Phytotoxicity of Organic Pollutants: Impacts and Management provides a comprehensive and up‑to‑date overview of how diverse organic pollutants affect plant physiology, growth, and development. Bringing together contributions from leading experts, the book examines the sources, environmental behavior, and biological impacts of major classes of organic pollutants. The volume highlights recent advances in understanding the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms underlying plant responses to organic pollutant exposure. It also explores plant‑ and microbe‑based remediation strategies, emphasizing their potential to safeguard food quality and ecosystem health. Phytotoxicity of Organic Pollutants: Impacts and Management serves as an interdisciplinary resource for researchers, academics, graduate students, environmental professionals, and industry practitioners working in plant science, ecotoxicology, environmental chemistry, and sustainable remediation.

  • Exposure and Risk Assessment of Pesticide Use in Agriculture

    • Inglés
    Exposure and Risk Assessment of Pesticide Use in Agriculture: Approaches, Tools and Advances offers an overview of the different methods available in toxicology for pesticide exposure and risk assessment, ranging from the regulatory field, to in-field research studies. The book provides technical background on each method, describing known and grounded tools, new uses of tools and development prospects. This book is ideal for researchers in pesticide toxicology, exposure toxicology, toxicologic risk assessment, occupational hygiene and medicine, and pesticide toxicology as well as occupational health and industrial hygiene practitioners, regulatory experts of corporate and public bodies, and advanced students.

  • New Pesticides and Soil Sensors

    • 1 Edición
    • Alexandru Mihai Grumezescu
    • Inglés
    New Pesticides and Soil Sensors, a volume in the Nanotechnology in the Agri-Food Industry series, is a practical resource that demonstrates how nanotechnology is a highly attractive tool that offers new options for the formulation of ‘nanopesticides’. Recent advances in nanopesticide research is reviewed and divided into several themes, including improvement of the water solubility of poorly soluble pesticide active ingredients to improve bioavailability and the encapsulation of pesticide active ingredients within permeable nanoparticles with the aim of releasing pesticide active ingredients in a controlled or targeted manner, while also protecting active ingredients from premature photo-degradation.

  • Pesticide Biotransformation and Disposition

    • 1 Edición
    • Ernest Hodgson
    • Inglés
    Biotransformation of Pesticides is an updated, "one-stop" resource for academic, industry and regulatory scientists involved in research and regulatory activities related to pesticide biotransformation and human health. This book provides an in depth look at how pesticides are biotransformed, which is essential to understanding exposure, dose, toxicity and health risks. This essential reference contains the biotransformation of pesticides from uptake to excretion, including toxicokinetics and emphasizes metabolism in non-target species, including experimental animals and humans.

  • Hayes' Handbook of Pesticide Toxicology

    • 3 Edición
    • Robert Krieger
    • Inglés
    The Handbook of Pesticide Toxicology is a comprehensive, two-volume reference guide to the properties, effects, and regulation of pesticides that provides the latest and most complete information to researchers investigating the environmental, agricultural, veterinary, and human-health impacts of pesticide use. Written by international experts from academia, government, and the private sector, the Handbook of Pesticide Toxicology is an in-depth examination of critical issues related to the need for, use of, and nature of chemicals used in modern pest management. This updated 3e carries on the book’s tradition of serving as the definitive reference on pesticide toxicology and recognizes the seminal contribution of Wayland J. Hayes, Jr., co-Editor of the first edition.

  • Piperonyl Butoxide

    • 1 Edición
    • Denys Glynne Jones
    • Inglés
    Piperonyl Butoxide contains 20 chapters contributed by world experts in the field on the properties, uses, plant metabolism, and mammalian and environmental toxicology of piperonyl butoxide. The mode of action of piperonyl butoxide is discussed as well as many other specialist topics, including the measurement of synergism in the laboratory, and the potential use of this chemical alone for the control of whiteflies, as well as with insect growth regulators. This book will prove to be a valuable reference for all concerned with the designing of safe and cost-effective insecticide formulations, particularly those used in the home, industry, or on or near animals and food.
