Pesticides organic halogen compounds

The Geo-Cleanse process remediates soil and groundwater contaminated with organic compounds including fuel oils, gasoline, solvents, halogenated compounds, pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and other organic contaminants. 

Four sediment samples (Tla, Tib, T2, T3) obtained from three different sampling locations (see Fig. 1) were investigated by analyses of extractable and non-extractable organic components. The sampling locations were situated in the Teltow Canal near a former pesticide producing chemical plant. Former analyses applied to sediment samples from the same area indicated a high contamination with halogenated compounds and pesticides as a result of industrial emissions (Schwarzbauer et al. 2001). 

In the Part B of this text several new entries have been inducted. Many compounds are entered in the tables under miscellaneous substances in several chapters. Molybdenum has been added as a subchapter into Metals, Toxic. A number of chapters of the last edition have been fully revised in this edition. Notable among them are, Nerve Gases Dioxin and Related Compounds Metals, Toxic Pesticides, Organochlorine-, Organophosphorus-, Carbamates-, and Chlo-rophenoxy Acids- Amines, Aromatic Isocyanates, Organic Halogenated Hydrocarbons Hydrocarbons, Aromatics Asbestos Nitriles and Nitrosoamines and a number of individual compounds such as Napalm. Practically all the entries of the previous edition have been retained in this edition. All revisions have been updated wherever possible to the year 2006.
