![]() The applications of multimedia fugacity models are useful for understanding the behaviors, fate, and transport of pesticides after their release into the environment and to facilitate risk assessment and management activities. Methoxyfenozide underwent a significant transport process between the water and sediment. The current analytical practical quantitation limit (PQL) for chlorpyrifos in. Chlorpyrifos is only slightly soluble in water to 1.4 mg/L at 25☌ (Tomlin 1994) and its log K ow is 4.7 (Tomlin 1994). Only approximately 2% of methoxyfenozide entered the organisms (zebrafish and Egeria densa Planch). Its IUPAC name is O, O -diethyl O -3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyl phosphorothioate, formula is C 9 H 11 Cl 3 NO 3 PS and molecular weight is 350.6. Water played a key role in the fate of methoxyfenozide, acting as a sink in the simulated aquatic environment, followed by sediment. Methoxyfenozide exhibited very high persistence in the aquatic microcosm. ![]() The degradation rate was less than 7.0% in the three types of aquatic microcosms at 740 h in the model. The model results indicated that the simulated concentrations agreed with the observed values within one order of magnitude. An aquatic microcosm, consisting of three spatially separated yet mutually dependent trophic levels, was established in the laboratory and monitored for 31. A critical problem today is selection of appropriate microcosm types for different research needs. Originally used mainly to test ecological hypotheses, microcosms are now finding applications in assessing the environmental effects of human activities, particularly chemical pollution. The present study combines two approaches, namely, an aquatic microcosm simulation experiment and a multimedia fugacity model, to study the fate and distribution of methoxyfenozide in an aquatic microcosm containing water, sediment, aquatic plants, and zebrafish.

Microcosm studies have been widely used to assess the ecotoxicological effects of non-point-source pesticide contam- ination on aquatic ecosystems 1. Aquatic microcosm research has developed along two basic lines, the model ecosystem and the model food chain. Methoxyfenozide is widely employed in paddy land and can flow out into the aquatic environment. ![]()
