Choice Review
A series of papers presented at a 1991 American Chemical Society meeting. The invited authors are recognized experts in the area of pesticide waste management. They present the current status of regulations and technology for this important environmental management problem. The first three chapters contain regulations in operation in the US and some perspectives for developing nations. The next seven chapters cover pesticide container recycling and disposal, and include proper procedures for burning and treatment of pesticide wastes, along with a study of air emissions that result from bag burning. The last eight chapters deal with current disposal technologies for the cleanup and remediation of pesticide-contaminated soil and wastewater. A final chapter contains an experimental design for testing landfarming of contaminated soil from agrochemical facilities. This book is well documented and contains a wealth of data in both tabular and graphic form. Suitable as a reference for advanced undergraduate and graduate environmental students, for researchers, and for agencies involved in regulating pesticides. W. H. Hohman; Marietta College
