Investigations of the Environmental Fate and Phytotoxicity of DIMP and DCPD

Abstract

The objective was to study three aspects of the problem of contaminant chemicals in the soil of Rocky Mountain Arsenal, Colorado in particular and other soils in general: (1) the determination of concentration levels of the contaminants that would produce phytotoxic symptoms in plants, (2) establishing the existence and degree of the bioconcentration of these chemicals in the plants, and (3) a study of the stability or movement of these chemicals in various types of soils with two methods of application. The specific chemicals of interest in this study were DIMP and DCPD.
