Discusses the disposal of pesticides and pesticide containers. Analyzes the current status of pesticide disposal and identifies problems yet to be resolved. Examines progress in the development of pesticide disposal technology and highlights successful implementation of disposal programs. Includes case studies of Minnesota state pesticide waste management programs. Reviews the current regulations pertinent to the area. Booknews Addresses problems associated with the contamination of surface and groundwater by pesticides, originating either from the practices of manufacturers and distributors, or from use by farmers. The 22 papers, presented at a symposium in New York, August 1991, consider regulations and their implementation, current disposal technologies for wastewater and soil cleanup, container recycling and disposal, alternative application technologies for rinsate minimization, and the remediation of contaminated sites.
