The Influence of Sorption on the Degradation of Pesticides and other Chemicals in Soil

Abstract
ABST If chemicals are bound to the soil particles, they will normally degrade slowly because they have become less available to the soil micro-organisms. However, the relationship is not so simple as it appears. In the present project, a comprehensive review of scientific literature was performed in which the influence of sorption on the degradation of chemicals in soil was studied. The conclusion of the project include a number of suggestions for future research into this field.

The Danish Environmental Protection Agency will, when opportunity offers, publish reports and contributions relating to environmental research and development projects financed via the Danish EPA.

Please note that publication does not signify that the contents of the reports necessarily reflect the views of the Danish EPA.

The reports are, however, published because the Danish EPA finds that the studies represent a valuable contribution to the debate on environmental policy in Denmark.
