This motivated research on pesticide dissipation and remediation of pesticide contaminated soils and groundwater. The herbicide dissipation was studied in boreal surface soils, subsurface sediment slurries and pilot-scale sediment columns. The sediments were from a groundwater area that was contaminated with atrazine, desethylatrazine (DEA), simazine and 2,6-dichlorobenzamide (BAM). The aim wa... VO - IS - SP - OP - KW - N1 - PP - ER -
