Partitioning and Uptake of Pesticides in Biological Systems

  • Chapter
Environmental Dynamics of Pesticides

Part of the book series: Environmental Science Research ((ESRH,volume 6))

Abstract

Biological systems can be interpreted to mean the mixture of things which are necessary for life, whether inside or outside of a single organism or community of organisms. Some of the major necessities for life include water, oxygen, organic food, minerals, energy generated by the sun, flow systems, and a media to live in. All chemicals making up such necessities exist in gas, liquid, and solid phases in various ratios which are temperature, pressure, and solubility dependent.
