SUMMARY:Predicting fate\, Chaos & Complex Systems Seminar\, Jim Blair\
 , Milton and Edgewood College
DESCRIPTION:Large quantities of agrochemicals are applied to farm fiel
 ds every year.  What happens to them?  How are they transported and tr
 ansformed?  How long do they last in the soil?  How rapidly do they mo
 ve through soil to reach the ground water?  Where do they end up?
\n
\
 nThis has been studied after the chemicals have been applied.  In this
  talk I will describe the development of a series of laboratory proced
 ures that attempt to predict the environmental fate of new agrochemica
 ls before they are applied.
\n

\n
\nRadio-labels and
  Liquid Scintillation Counting
\nThe Three Faces of Fate
