The following objectives provide the
framework within which W-45 research will evolve. They are purposefully not
specific with respect to the compounds to be studied, because the fluidity of
this topic is such that there will be changes in emphasis over the next five
years in response to what is occurring in the agricultural world.
1. Identify, develop, and/or validate trace residue
analytical methods, immunological procedures, and biomarkers.
2. Characterize abiotic and biotic reaction mechanisms, transformation
rates, and fate in agricultural and natural ecosystems.
3. Determine adverse impacts from agrochemical exposure to cells,
organisms, and ecosystems.
4. Develop technologies that mitigate adverse human and environmental
impacts.
