It discusses new remediation methods, pesticide production and generation of pesticide waste, focusing on the prevention of spills and accidental contamination. There is also a chapter on regulation authored by two members of the US Environment Agency. This is a first class book of interest to anyone involved in the production, use and clean-up of pesticides.
