Pesticide Properties in the Environment

Pollution of soil and water by pesticides is a significant issue that persists for years after the pesticide application ceases.

This is a database compiled from literature searches, presenting data on hundreds of pesticides, including their common, commercial and scientific names; their chemical formulas; and their environmental properties, including water solubility, field half-life, sorption coefficient and vapour pressure.
