Pesticide Fate Research Trends within a Strict Regulatory Environment: The Case of Germany
描述了德国在严格监管下农药归趋研究的趋势，包括保护地下水和地表水、使用计算机模型和土壤渗漏仪、强调多学科研究以及寻求实现饮用水绝对保护的目标。
Germany has adopted tough regulations to prevent environmental contamination from agricultural chemicals. This is exemplified by strict standards for drinking water that limit chemical concentrations to 0.1 part-per-billion (ppb), regardless of toxicity.\nCurrent German regulatory and research trends are described, with an emphasis on basic pesticide fate research. Several key trends are identified: (1) protection of ground water, surface water, and the atmosphere are all important regulatory priorities, (2) computer models, soil lysimeters, and monitoring play critical roles in regulation and research, (3) increased emphasis is being placed upon multidisciplinary studies to address complex research problems, and (4) solutions are being sought to meet the regulatory goal of absolute protection of drinking water, especially ground water.
