An Evaluation of the Accumulation, Translocation, and Degradation of Pesticides at Land Wastewater Disposal Sites.
Abstract
The purpose of the investigation was to determine the fate of Malathion, Carbaryl, Diazinon, and 2,4-D butoxyethyl ester during sewage spray irrigation at land disposal sites. Biocide accumulation and degradation in soil and translocation in soil and water was assessed. Sheltered soil lysimeters were spray irrigated thrice weekly at a loading rate of 2 in. per week with wastewaters containing 0.1 mg/l of each biocide. Five soils ranging in type from finely textured to coarsely textured were examined and two of these soils were also studied in field plots.
