Abstract:
There has been interest within the pesticide regulatory community in developing a tool that can provide estimates of potential pesticide exposure in shallow groundwater across an intended use area. Therefore, industry initiated an investigative project based on the PRZM 3.12 model, which uses regional soils and weather in an easy to use interface. The goal of this proof-of-concept is to facilitate the refinement of groundwater exposure estimates. The focus of this paper is to report the effectiveness of the tool as a regional estimator of potential groundwater contamination.

Precipitation Gravimetry
In determining nickel by gravimetric analysis, a precipitant of ethanolic dimethylglyoxime is added to a hot nickel salt solution. This is quickly followed by the dropwise addition of dilute ammonia solution until precipitation occurs. A...
