Abstract
In this paper, we develop mass fraction models for exposure assessment and the regulation of agricultural organic chemicals. The models are obtained by applying the method of Laplace transformation to solute fate and transport equations. The models describe the residual mass emission of pesticides below the root zone, to the water table and in aquifers, and they emphasize physical and biochemical processes responsible for the fate and transport of organic solutes in the subsurface. The potential of the use of the mass fraction models in the management of agriculture pesticides is also investigated. A combined modeling and ArcView GIS framework is used to assess soil and groundwater vulnerability to selected pesticides in an agricultural watershed in the Mid-Atlantic Coastal plain.
