Contents Part A : Assessing Contamination; Distribution of Pesticides Into the Environment; Step 1: Determining The Relevant Pesticides; Step 2: Assessing Contamination Caused by Infiltration Assessing the pesticides concentration in the soil; Step 3: Assessing Contamination in Groundwater Assessing the likelihood of spillages reaching the groundwater Determining the pesticide concentration in the groundwater; Step 4: Determining Distribution by Wind Assessing the rate of emission of pesticides out of the store; Part : Identifying Possible Human Health Risks Through Contamination; Step 5: Identifying Exposure Points Exposure Points in the area where groundwater is contaminated Exposure points in the area where topsoil is contaminated by wind; Step 6: Predicting Concentrations at The Exposure Points Points exposed to groundwater contamination Points exposed to contaminationby wind; Step 7: Identifying Exposure Routes; Step 8: Determinig When Permissible Exposure Levels Have Been Exceeded Permissible exposure levels for groundwater Permissible exposure levels for wind; Part C : Determining Follow-Up Measures; Step 9: Checking Checking in the field What do if results are different from those predicted; Step 10: Measures For Addressing Contamination Disposing of obsolete pesticides Disposing of contaminated soil or groundwater which measures to take; Appendix 1: Field Format For Assessing Contamination; Step 1: Determining The Relevant Pesticides; Step 2: Assessing Contamination Caused by Infiltration; Step 3: Assessing Contamination in Groundwater; Step 4: Determining Distribution by Wind; Step 5: Identifying Exposure Points; Step 6: Predicting Concentrations at The Exposure Points; Step 7: Identifying Exposure Routes; Step 8: Determining When Permissible Exposure Levels Have Been Exceeded; Step 9: Determining Follow-Up Measure; Field Format For Assessing Contamination: Example 1: Description of a Storage Site With Obsolete Pesticides; Step 1: Determining the relevant pesticides; Step 2: Assessing contamination caused by infiltration; Step 3: Assessing contamination in groundwater; Step 4: Determining distribution by wind; Step 5: Identifying exposure points; Step 6: Predicting concentrations at the exposure points; Step 7: Identifying exposure routes; Step 8: Determining when permissible exposure levels have been exceeded; Step 9: Determining follow-up measures; Field Format For Assessing Contamination: Example 2: Description of a Storage Site With Obsolete Pesticides; Step 1: Determining the relvant pesticides; Step 2: Assessing Contamination caused by infiltration; Step 3: Assessing Contamination in groundwater; Step 4: Determining distribution by wind; Step 5: Identifying exposure points; Step 6: Predicting Concentration at the exposure points; Step 7: Identifying exposure routes; Step 8: Determining when permissible exposure levels have been exceeded; Step 9: Determining follow-up measures; Appendix 2: Parameters of Pesticides That Inf
