The British Crop Protection Council and The Royal Society of Chemistry, Crop Protection PubHcations, Cambridge, U.K., 1994. Includes 725 entries by common name in alphabetic order, with chemical stmcture, chemical name(s), molecular formula, CAS Registry Number, physicochemical properties, commercialisation, mode of action, uses, trade names, analytical methods, mammalian toxicology, ecotoxicology, and environmental fate. 

The rate and extent of pesticide metaboHsm can vary dramatically, depending on chemical stmcture, the number of specific pesticide-degrading microorganisms present and their affinity for the pesticide, and environmental parameters. The extent of metaboHsm can vary from relatively minor transformations which do not significantly alter the chemical or toxicological properties of the pesticide, to mineralisation, ie, degradation to CO2, H2O, NH" 4, Cf, etc. The rate of metaboHsm can vary from extremely slow (half-life of years) to rapid (half-life of days).
