Última Adsorption Isotherms of Diuron and Hexazinone in Drinking Water Using Four Agro-Industrial Residues Planta Daninha TAKESHITA,V.; MENDES,K.F.; PIMPINATO,R.F.; TORNISIELO,V.L.. ABSTRACT: Materials with high organic carbon content are studied for the removal of herbicides from water, such as activated carbon. Low cost alternatives should be investigated for the substitution of this type of material in the removal of herbicides from water. In this context, the aim of this research was to evaluate four agro-industrial residues (white grape bagasse, corn straw, peanut shell and soybean hull) as adsorbents of diuron and hexazinone in drinking water. Samples of drinking water were collected from sources used for human consumption. Five concentrations (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 mg mL-1) of each herbicide were added to the potable water samples. Each experimental unit consisted of 10 mL of a solution of water and herbicide with 0.1 g of each...

Meeting the food needs of the world’s growing population while reducing poverty and protecting the environment is a major global challenge. Genetically modified crops appear to provide a promising option to deal with this challenge. However there is a need to make strategic decisions on how to spend limited agricultural research funds in order to achieve a maximum impact with regard to finding sustainable solutions to end hunger and poverty. In international development institutions, there is growing interest in the potential use of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) as part of a research based Environmental Management System (EMS) to promote mainstreaming of environmental considerations in policy development. SEA was developed as an approach to...

Ano: 2005 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/58584 Climatic variability and cooperation in rangeland management: a case study from Niger AgEcon McCarthy, Nancy; Vanderlinden, Jean-Paul. In this paper, we develop an empirical model of an agro-pastoral system subject to high climatic risk to test the impact of rainfall variability on livestock densities, land allocation patterns and herd mobility observed at the community level. Also, because grazing land is a common-pool resource, we determine the impact of cooperation on these decision variables. To capture different abilities of communities to manage these externalities, we construct indices comprised of factors considered to affect the costliness of achieving successful cooperation found in the collective action literature. We then test hypotheses regarding the impact of rainfall variability and cooperation using data collected in a semi-arid region of Niger. Results indicate that...

Ano: 2002 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/50058 Ecological Risks of Novel Environmental Crop Technologies Using Phytoremediation as an Example AgEcon Angle, J. Scott; Linacre, Nicholas A.. Phytoremediation is the use of living plants, known as hyperaccumulators which absorb unusually large amounts of metals in comparison to other plants. The use of classical plant breeding and new molecular techniques offers great potential to develop crops with the ability to clean up polluted sites. While these technologies have gained widespread attention, prior to commercial development, there are risks that must be considered – only a few of which have received even modest examination. Therefore, the focus of this working paper is to explore specific risks associated with phytoremediation and suggest ways in which these risks can be managed so that new, novel, and innovative plant technologies may be applied to provide low cost and efficient...

Ano: 2005 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/59225 Environmental risk increase due to heavy metal contamination caused by a copper mining activity in Southern Brazil Anais da ABC (AABC) BIDONE,EDISON D.; LAYBAUER,LUCIANO; CASTILHOS,ZULEICA C.; MADDOCK,JOHN L.. The Camaquã Copper Mines (CCM) were the main sulphide deposit in Southern Brazil and have been in operation from last century to 1996. To evaluate water contamination and environmental risk increase by heavy metals from mining operations, two points on the João Dias Creek were sampled (Station 1, background area and Station 2, contaminated area). Mining activity increased the natural weakly heavy metal fluxes by approximately 5424 kg. ( ~ 60%) of the total metal flux, 1542 kg. ( ~ 49%) of dissolved and 3881 kg ( ~ 66%) of particulate metal flux. Total metal flux of anthropic origin was mostly due to Fe followed by Cu > Zn > Mn whereas Cd, As and Pb fluxes were negligible. The potential human health hazards and risk assessment related to daily intake...

Ano: 2001 URL: http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0001-37652001000200011 FLOODING RISK AND HOUSING VALUES: AN ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD AgEcon Daniel, Vanessa; Florax, Raymond J.G.M.; Rietveld, Piet. Climate change, the ‘boom and bust’ cycles of rivers, and altered water resource management practice have caused significant changes in the spatial distribution of the risk of flooding. Hedonic pricing studies, predominantly for the US, have assessed the spatial incidence of risk and the associated implicit price of flooding risk. Using these implicit price estimates and their associated standard errors, we perform a meta-analysis and find that houses located in the 100-year floodplain have a –0.3 to –0.8% lower price. The actual occurrence of a flooding event or increased stringency in disclosure rules causes ex ante prices to differ from ex post prices, but these effects are small. The marginal willingness to pay for reduced risk exposure has increased...

Ano: 2007 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/7333 IMPACT OF PRODUCTION CHANGES ON INCOME AND ENVIRONMENTAL RISK IN THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS AgEcon Mapp, Harry P., Jr.. Regional and farm-level analyses are conducted to evaluate the economic and environmental impacts of water quality protection policies. The regional analysis evaluates reducing nitrate losses by reducing per-acre nitrogen use, taxing nitrogen use, taxing irrigation water use, and reducing furrow irrigation. Incentives to convert furrow systems to sprinkler and LEPA systems outperform the other policies. The firm-level analysis derives farm plans that limit the expected values of environmental indices for nitrates and pesticides, and reduce the probability that specified targets will be exceeded. The analysis demonstrates the importance of evaluating environmental risk as stochastic process.

Ano: 1999 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/15369 Investigating Changes in Canadian Consumers' Food Safety Concerns, 2003 and 2005 AgEcon Veeman, Michele M.; Li, Yu. Building on the results of an initial analysis of risk ranking data collected from a representative group of some 850 Canadian respondents in early 2003, this study assesses a similar set of risk ranking questions applied to a somewhat larger representative group of some 1500 Canadians in late 2005. We also compare the 2003 and 2005 risk rankings. In both surveys, risk rankings for eight food safety issues (bacteria contamination, pesticide residuals, use of hormones in food production, use of antibiotics in food production, BSE (mad cow disease), food additives, use of genetic modification/engineering in food production, fat and cholesterol in food) and six environmental safety issues (water pollution by chemical run-offs from agriculture, soil...

Ano: 2007 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/7710 Risk assessment and management of genetically modified organisms under Australia's Gene Technology Act AgEcon Linacre, Nicholas A.; Falck-Zepeda, Jose Benjamin; Komen, John; MacLaren, Donald. Compared to both Canada and the United States, Australia has been slow to approve commercial planting of transgenic crops. Two probable reasons exist for the slow approval rate of transgenic crops in Australia. The first reason is community perceptions about the risks associated with transgenic technologies. The second is the regulatory framework currently employed to approve commercial releases. This paper examines some of the potential regulatory issues that may be affecting the review process and approval of transgenic technologies. First we provide a brief introduction to the regulatory structure in Australia, second we consider the impact of regional, national and state jurisdictions, third we argue that the regulator needs to consider the use of...

Ano: 2006 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/55414 Sustainability, certification, and regulation of biochar PAB Verheijen,Frank G. A.; Montanarella,Luca; Bastos,Ana Catarina. Biochar has a relatively long half-life in soil and can fundamentally alter soil properties, processes, and ecosystem services. The prospect of global-scale biochar application to soils highlights the importance of a sophisticated and rigorous certification procedure. The objective of this work was to discuss the concept of integrating biochar properties with environmental and socioeconomic factors, in a sustainable biochar certification procedure that optimizes complementarity and compatibility between these factors over relevant time periods. Biochar effects and behavior should also be modelled at temporal scales similar to its expected functional lifetime in soils. Finally, when existing soil data are insufficient, soil sampling and analysis procedures...

Ano: 2012 URL: http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0100-204X2012000500003 The Emergence of Insect Resistance in Bt-Corn: Implication of Resistance Management Information Under Uncertainty AgEcon Linacre, Nicholas A.; Thompson, Colin J.. The successful management of transgenic technology is likely to depend on the economic behavioral response of farmers to the regulated use of transgenic crops. A well-studied example is the widespread use of Bt-corn, in the United States, and elsewhere, to control the European Corn Borer, a major corn pest. The extensive use of Bt-corn has led to concerns about the emergence of insect resistance. The United States Environment Protection Agency addressed this potential problem by developing an insect resistance management strategy, based, in part, on complex mathematical models using detailed biological assumptions about the population genetics and life history of the European Corn Borer. However, seed companies and others have sometimes used simpler...

Ano: 2005 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/59239 The environmental risk as a culture in the Sinos Valley, Brazil Anais da ABC (AABC) PEDDE,VALDIR; FIGUEIREDO,JOÃO A.; TUNDISI,JOSÉ G.; LENZ,CÁTIA A.. The proposal of analysis of the social-environmental perception will be developed from the discourse as a constitutive element of reality. The discourse practices and their concretion will be the source of meaning and social-cultural value. Thus, the chosen research method was the qualitative and quantitative case study. In the first part of the text we will recapture a theoretical input by Mary Douglas on risk and culture, as well as on the acceptance of the risks in society. In the second part, we cover a few data of the case of the risks resulting from the tanning industry and on how the society of the “Vale do Rio dos Sinos” relates to these risks. In this article we conclude that risk perception of the population is directly related with past...

Infoteca-e VIEIRA, L. M.; GALDINO, S.; PADOVANI, C. R.. A partir da década de 1970, a remoção da vegetação nativa, principalmente dos cerrados, da Bacia do Alto Taquari (BAT), localizada em Mato Grosso do Sul e parte de Mato Grosso, se intensificou, para a implantação da agropecuária. Essa ocupação foi desordenada e não seguiu as técnicas mínimas de manejo e conservação de solo. As terras mais fracas foram transformadas em pastagens cultivadas. Os latossolos, localizados nos Chapadões e com topografia apropriada a mecanização agrícola, foram ocupados, principalmente, pelas culturas de soja, milho, arroz, trigo e feijão. A utilização de pesticidas passou a preocupar a sociedade pelo risco de afetar diretamente a saúde do homem pelo consumo de alimentos contaminados e, indiretamente, pelas cadeias alimentares. A...

Ano: 2001 URL: http://www.infoteca.cnptia.embrapa.br/infoteca/handle/doc/806086 Utilizing Contingent Claims to Improve the Management of CAFOs AgEcon Gramig, Benjamin M.; Skees, Jerry R.; Black, J. Roy. We propose a market-based approach to reducing the environmental risk posed by concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). The dual problems of hidden information and hidden action faced by policymakers are considered alongside the competing incentives faced by the CAFO manager in a multiple principal-agent setting. A new approach that uses insurance-like contracts is introduced by use of the specific example of a swine operation with a lagoon-based manure management system. Index-based contingent claims contracts in tandem with third-party auditing and waste hauling options are introduced as a complement to regulatory frameworks designed to reduce negative externalities from production.
