THE ENANTIOSELECTIVITY OF CHIRAL PESTICIDES PRESENTS A GREEN CHEMISTRY OPPORTUNITY
Citation:
GARRISON, A. W. THE ENANTIOSELECTIVITY OF CHIRAL PESTICIDES PRESENTS A GREEN CHEMISTRY OPPORTUNITY. Presented at 2006 Gordon Research Conference on Green Chemistry, Oxford, UK, August 27 - September 01, 2006.
Impact/Purpose:
To determine the environmental occurrences, fate, and effects of the enantiomers of selected chiral pesticides and other chiral pollutants.
Description:
This presentation will include a summary of the use and environmental occurrence of modern chiral pesticides with data on their enantioselective fate and effects. Information on enantioselectivity will facilitate a science-based approach toward fostering the production and use of single- or enriched-enantiomer pesticides that would relieve the environment of thousands of tons of unnecessary chemicals which, in the worst cases, may have adverse impacts.
