Bibliography: leaves 198-227. / xx, 260 leaves, [3] leaves of plates : ill. (chiefly col.) ; 30 cm. / Title page, contents and abstract only. The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. / The aims of this study were: 1. to examine the sorption behaviour of selected nonionic and ionic pesticides in a range of soils; 2. to characterise the nature of soil organic matter in a diverse group of soils and relate the structural and molecular variations of organic matter to sorption of nonionic pesticides; and 3. to study the release behaviour of carbaryl and ethion from two historically contaminated soils and to elucidate the mechanisms of their aging/sequestration.
