Industrial and agricultural endeavors are intimately associated with the extensive use of a wide array of chemicals. Historically chemical wastes generated through industrial processes were disposed of through flagrant release into the environment. Gasses quickly dispersed into the atmosphere; liquids were diluted into receiving waters and efficiently transported away from the site of generatio...

This paper was presentee at the Proceedings of the 1st Annual Conference on Environmental Toxicology, sponsored by the SysteMed Corporation and held in Fairbom | Ohio on 9, 10, and 11 September 1970. Major technical areas discussed included tox| icological evaluation of carbon monoxide, methodology, pathology, atmospheric contaminants, and toxicology of propeliants and other military chemicals.

The Author Guidelines for Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (ET&C) have been updated to address many issues. Please read the full version of the Guidelines online at: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/%28ISSN% 291552-8618/homepage/ForAuthors.html. Most noteworthy is the explicit recognition that assessing (and managing) environmental quality requires understanding the actual o...

The insecticide methomyl, an oxime carbamate, was first introduced in 1968 for broad spectrum control of several insect classes, including Lepidoptera, Hemiptera, Homoptera, Diptera, and Coleoptera. Like other carbamates, it inhibits AChE activity, resulting in nerve and/or tissue failure and possibly death. Considered highly toxic to insects (larval and adult stages), methomyl is thought to be...
