What to Consider when Emission Reduction is Required from Soil Fumigation
Emission is one of the key factors affecting fumigant use in California due to regulations. Many commodities depend on pre-plant soil fumigation to achieve profitable yield and healthy crops. The phase-out of methyl bromide as a broad-spectrum soil fumigant in pest control has placed formidable challenges in searching alternatives. Most alternatives registered today are highly regulated because...
متن کاملReducing 1,3-dichloropropene emissions from soil columns amended with thiourea.
Soil fumigants are becoming an important source of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in air, especially in some agricultural areas. In this study, we used thiourea to construct a reactive surface barrier (RSB) at the soil surface for reducing 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) volatilization. The agrochemical thiourea could rapidly transform volatile 1,3-D to nonvolatile products via an SN2 nucleophil...
متن کاملMicrobial consumption and production of volatile organic compounds at the soil-litter interface
Substantial amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can be released during decomposition and these compounds can affect atmospheric chemistry, belowground processes, and the structure of microbial communities in litter and soil. However, we have a limited understanding of the types, quantities and ecological impacts of VOCs emitted from litter. Here we used a closed flow-through system and...
متن کاملSource Apportionment Of High Reactive Volatile Organic Compounds In a Region With The Massive Hydrocarbon Processing Industries
In the Persian Gulf region, conditions are highly favorable for ozone air pollution and the region is a hot spot of photochemical smog. The vast activities in processing oil and gas play a major role in it. It was found that the elevated concentrations of reactive hydrocarbons co-emitted with nitrogen oxides from Hydrocarbon Processing facilities lead to substantial ozone production. South Pars...
متن کاملSoil volatile analysis by proton transfer reaction-time of flight mass spectrometry (PTR-TOF-MS)
We analyzed the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from different soils by using the PTR-MS-TOF technique under laboratory conditions and compared them with soil chemical biochemical activities. The emitted VOCs were related to soil microbial biomass, soil respiration and some soil enzyme activities so as to evaluate if size and activity of soil microbial communities influenced the soil ...
