Tier I Rice Model - Version 1.0 - Guidance for Estimating Pesticide Concentrations in Rice Paddies

Describes a Tier I Rice Model (Version 1.0) for estimating surface water exposure from the use of pesticides in rice paddies. The concentration calculated can be used for aquatic ecological risk and drinking water exposure assessments.

Guidance on Light-Dependent Peroxidizing Herbicides: Use of the Molar Threshold Value for Adjusting Fish Chronic Endpoints to Account for Ultraviolet Light-enhanced Toxicity

Guidance for Light-dependent peroxidizing herbicides (LDPH) and adjusting fish chronic endpoints in pesticide risk assessments.

Film Permeability Determination Using Static Permeability Cells

The permeability of tarps to soil fumigant pesticides varies depending on the active ingredient chemical: dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), methyl bromide, chloropicrin, or other. The diffusion rate can be represented by the mass transfer coefficient (MTC).

Presentations at 2013 Pollinator Summit --Dust Focus Group

These presentations covered pesticide exposure risks posed to honey bees by the dust from planting treated corn seed, and research on reducing dust by means such as talc replacement and standards for planter technology.
