Incorporation of aerodynamic and boundary layer resistances in determining initial evaporation rates of pesticides from turf grass

Creator:

Conway, Michael

Abstract:

Evaporative loss rates of pesticides, following application to turfgrass, were measured using the Backward-Time Lagrangian stochastic Dispersion model (Flesch, Wilson, Journal of Applied Meteorology, 34, pp. 1320-1332. All pesticides were applied to a 22.8 m x 22.8 m orchard ryegrass turf plot near Corvallis, Oregon. Solar radiation, ambient temperature, surface...

Microbial degradation of linear alkylbenzenesulfonates in sewage contaminated groundwater

Creator:

Eby, Sean D.

Abstract:

Surfactants, or surface active agents, are the active ingredients in detergents used for domestic cleaning applications, such as dish washing and laundering. They are effective cleaning agents by concentrating at interfacial regions, lowering the surface tension of water, and forming micelles that solubilize oils (West, 1992). Surfactants are amphiphilic, because...
