Pesticides have played a significant role in increasing food
production, and in view of growing worldwide food demand we can
expect the use of these chemicals to increase. However, some of
them have found their way into the biosphere and have been classi
fied as persistent toxic chemicals. This has resulted in serious
concern about environmental contamination. Since we are going to
continue using chemicals, we should learn more about such aspects
as their transport in the environment, the relationship of their
physical-chemical properties to transport, their persistence in the
biosphere, their partitioning in the biota, and toxicological and
epidemiological forecasting based on physical-chemical properties.
Environmental chemodynamics is the name given to a subject which
deals with some of the above topics, utilizing the principles of
such disciplines as chemistry, physics, systems analysis,
modelling, engineering, and medical and biological sciences. To
ensure the safety of the environment, we must know more about the
chemodynamical behavior of pesticides and related chemi cals. The
purpose of the symposium "Environmental Dynamics of Pes ticides"
was to explore the concept of chemodynamics as applied to
pesticides and thus may help in developing the emerging field of
environmental chemodynamics. The symposium was held during the
l37th National American Chemical Society Meeting at Los Angeles,
California, during April, 1974. The three sessions in the sym
posium were chai'red by Drs. V.H. Freed, D.G. Crosby, and R.
Haque."
