“…These tools grade the ecological impact of chemicals using general classifications, which are often independent of empirical considerations. Some comparisons of the impact of ''integrated'' and ''conventional'' crop production systems have been made using little or no empirical data whatsoever (Bues et al, 2004;De Jong and De Snoo, 2002) and -self-evidently and speciously -conclude that systems that use lower per ha dosages of chemicals, less toxic chemicals, and spray methods that allow less insecticide drift have less impact than those that do not. Models such as the Environmental Impact Quotient (EIQ) (Kovach et al, 1992) consist of equations that sum the combined effects of complex variables that include human dermal and chronic toxicity, non-target effects in fish, bird, bee and beneficial arthropods and abiotic effects such as leaching potential.…”

“…Although a majority of studies were focused on mobility and degradation of pesticides in soils [3][4][5][6], whether LMWOA and DOM modify the behavior of pesticides and their actions under different conditions is largely unknown. Also, mobility of isoproturon in different soil types as affected by LMWOA and DOM is unclear.…”

“…pesticides and PAHs) has caused a series of environmental problems [1,2]. Great concerns have arisen in recent years because numerous pesticides are frequently detected as pollutants in ecosystems [3,4]. Pesticides and their toxic metabolites constitute the major sources that not only leach to the surface and ground water but also are accumulated in plants and other organisms [3][4][5].…”

“…The EIQ is a widely used model where detailed information of site-specific properties is not available, as is the case for regional or national and cross-national surveys (Gallivan et al 2001;Smith et al 2002;Bues et al 2004;Cross and EdwardsJones 2006), and it has performed relatively well in the comparative analysis of risk indices (Maud et al 2001;Stenrød et al 2008;Muhammetoglu et al 2010). Besides the mathematical and conceptual problems with summary equations of environmental impact (Dushoff et al 1994), as with most (and perhaps all) PRIs, the EIQ does not account for the presence of inert ingredients, for which information on identity, chemical properties, and potential health and environmental impact are rarely available.…”
