Provides an overview of analytical and environmental chemistry of herbicide metabolites. Covers methods and development strategies for the analysis of herbicides and their metabolites. Discusses advances in analytical methods, including applications for the analysis of herbicide metabolites in water and soil. Addresses fate and transport of herbicides, including molecular interactions with soil, field-scale transport studies, and a larger scale study of the effects of topography and irrigation on the occurrence of herbicides and their metabolites in soil. Examines basin and regional scale occurrence of herbicides and their metabolites in surface water and groundwater. Includes a EPA perspective on herbicide metabolites in groundwater.

Review:

"Herbicides are common contaminants in surface water and many industries have been conducted on herbicide characteristics related to weed control and crop tolerance . . . As a result of mounting interest in the state of groundwater resources and the improved ability to detect compounds by gas
chromatography-mass spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography, research on the occurrence and transport of herbicides into groundwater has expanded. . . . The study of herbicide metabolites . . . has become an important research area in agricultural and environmental chemistry. This
book is designed to give an overview on the environmental chemistry of herbicide metabolites and to provide specific examples of research conducted in the broad categories of analytical methods, fate and transport, and water-quality surveys. . . . The herbicide metabolites are an area of water
chemistry that deserves considerably more attention and study."--Cellulose Chemistry and Technology
