| With the advent of transgenic, glyphosate-tolerant soybean and glufosinate-tolerant corn, this concern might be reduced by replacing some of the residual herbicides with short half-life, strongly sorbed, contact herbicides. |
| Albedo is the ratio between the amount of solar energy reflected on a surface and the amount of energy ab sorbed by this surface as heat. |
| As higher-chain-length NPEs move through the treatment system, they are degraded to lower-chain-length NPEs and NPECs and ultimately to NP, which itself can be further degraded or sorbed to particles or sludges. |
| Due to their hydrophobic nature, these contaminants are expected to be strongly sorbed to soil particles, hence not taken up by roots or translocated within plants to any significant extent. |
| The exchange of pesticide compounds between aqueous solution and the sorbed phase in soils is not instantaneous. |
| Secondly, the strategy consists in the neutralisation of the sorbed pollutants in the objects. |
