"...this is an excellent [volume] of considerable value to all professionals involved in the production, use and regrettably the clean-up of pesticides, which are now a requisite for increasing agricultural production and yields.", , , International Journal of Environmental Studies#"... a valuable contribution for those interested in dealing with the problems of pesticide waste and soil contamination treatment. It compiles a wealth of scientific and technological information which would be tedious to obtain otherwise.", , , European Journal of Soil Science#

Ein Handbuch für alle, die mit der Produktion, Anwendung und Beseitigung von Pestiziden befaßt sind: In einem Band wurden alle Methoden der Dekontamination insbesondere von Boden und Wasser zusammengefaßt, darunter Verbrennung, biologische Verfahren und neue Entwicklungen. Besonderes Augenmerk wird auf die Verringerung des Schadstoffausstoßes während der Produktion gerichtet; auch juristische und politische Aspekte kommen zur Sprache. (8/98)
