The public has many misconceptions about the use of pesticides. There is increasing
demand for factual, scientific information on the proper use and misuse
of pesticides. In this web-based presentation, aquatic herbicides are used
to demonstrate scientific concepts regarding herbicide toxicity, persistence
in the environment, dosage, mode-of-action, carcinogenicity, bioaccumulation
and other public concerns. Presented by Dr.
Carole Lembi, Professor of Botany in the Department of Botany and Plant
Pathology, Purdue University. This presentation is available in other formats and on CD (Macintosh/Windows) or DVD by request. View a transcript of this presentation.
