This volume focuses on modelling the fate of chemicals in the
environment and the human body to arrive at an integrated exposure
assessment. It covers five broad topics, namely: future challenges
in exposure assessment; the evolution of human health and
environmental risk assessment; standard documentation for exposure
models; modelling different environmental components (i.e. surface
waters, atmosphere, soil, groundwater, plants, aquatic organisms
and mammals); and the fate of contaminants in humans. This work
draws on the authors' and editors' extensive experience and a range
of different research activities, including case studies, that have
led to the development of MERLIN-Expo, a standardised software
package for simulating the fate of chemicals in the main
environmental systems and in the human body in an integrated
manner. It will be of considerable interest to researchers and
students, risk managers, and policy- and decision-makers whose work
involves environmental protection and human health.

Sustainable Use of Chemicals in Agriculture, Volume 2, explores the
wide breadth of emerging and state-of-the-art technologies used to
study the sustainable use of chemicals in agriculture. Sections in
this new release include modern agriculture in Europe and the
role/place of chemicals, a regulatory vision of the sustainable use
of pesticides and risk mitigation, the perception of the concept in
other regions of the globe, certification and added value for farm
production, and how research and education can influence
implementation and development, among other valuable topics.
Rice is cultivated throughout the world under submerged conditions.
The high water requirements and the heavy pesticide load used in
rice paddies worldwide have resulted in contamination of associated
surface water, such as streams, ditches, rivers and lakes. The
uniform risk assessment approach which has been developed for other
crops is not applicable to rice paddies, because of the specific
conditions applied to rice cultivation.
Pesticide Risk Assessment in Rice Paddies: Theory and Practice
fills the gap in information on this subject. Written by experts,
this book summarizes the methods used for pesticide risk assessment
in rice paddies, the limitations and problems encountered and
future developments. It also examines the various agronomic,
pesticide application and risk assessment approaches used in
different rice cultivated zones in Asia, America and Europe and is
an essential reference for those working in this area.
* The only up-to-date book dealing with pesticide risk assessment
in the flooded conditions of rice paddies
* Offers guidelines on the use and application of existing modeling
tools, specific for rice cultivation
* Presents the differences and similarities in rice cropping
systems and how these relate to pesticide risk assessment
