The understanding of processes controlling the environmental dynamics of pesticides in the environment is essential to investigate and mitigate the risk of environmental contamination. With this regard, the routes and rates of dissipation of active substances and their metabolites as well as the transport/mobilization processes are key factors to determine the actual levels of exposure of pesticides in environmental compartments.
This is made even more complicated by global change challenges, and climate change in particular, because of variable temperature trends, increased drought or flooding amplitude and frequency, depletion of soil carbon content and increase in soil erosion. Therefore, besides the interplay of the complex mechanisms underlying environmental fate, we should also consider the dynamics imposed by climate change.
On these bases, this section focuses on environmental fate of pesticides from laboratory to landscape level, including the assessment of the mechanisms determining the fate as well as the modelling of fate into environment.
