4. 3. Ecological risk assessment of pesticide use in rice farming in the Mekong Delta , Vietnam

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

   Author : Bubaraye Ohiosimuan Dirikumo; [2023]
   Keywords : Pesticides; Ecological Risk Assessment ERA ; rice farming; Mekong Delta; PRIMET Model; Exposure Toxicity Ratio ETR ; species sensitivity distribution SSD ; predicted environmental concentrations PECs ;

   Abstract : Pesticide use in rice farming is a common practice in the Mekong Delta and poses ecological risks to aquatic organisms, the environment, and human health. This study focused on the ecological risk assessment of pesticide use in rice farming using the PRIMET model as a decision support tool to evaluate the risks of pesticide exposure, ecotoxicity, and risk characterization, as well as employing the species sensitivity distribution (SSD) assessment model to calculate the potentially affected fraction (PAF) of species based on the computed predicted environmental concentrations (PECs) from PRIMET.

5. 4. Detecting Pollutants Using Vibrations : Laser Doppler Vibrometry as a Non-Invasive Soil Organism Health Monitoring Method

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Author : Kristoffer Wilson; [2023]
   Keywords : Vibrometer; Biotremology; Imidacloprid; Ants;

   Abstract : Due to a lack of in-situ methods capable of detecting sub-lethal effects of pollutants on soil organisms, many polluted environments are not identified prior to pollution-induced changes in the soil fauna. Therefore, there is a need to develop new non-invasive methods to measure the health of soil organisms. READ MORE
