LEE, E., C. A. BURDICK, AND D. M. OLSZYK. GIS-BASED RISK ASSESSMENT OF PESTICIDE DRIFT CASE STUDY: FRESNO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, EPA/600/R-05/029 (NTIS PB2007-107907), 2005.

Description:

The report describes the potential risk of herbicide drift and accidentally damaging neighboring crops or surrounding native vegetation. This study is the first to use the California Pesticide Use Reporting database within a mapping framework (known as a Geographic Information System, or GIS) to perform a risk assessment of pesticide spray drift at the county level. The data for Fresno County, California are used to illustrate the methodology and quantify the potential crop acreage at risk.
