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.
