| Abstract |
Residual chlorinated organic pesticides and fertilisers in sugar beet plantation soil result, upon weeding, in the emission of toxic gases (hydrogen chloride, phosgene). These emissions start 18-20 days after application of the pesticides and continue for a week. With annual treatment the emissions start a week later and last for about 2 months. Maximum HCl emission occurs at higher atmospheric temperatures (during noon hours), and that of phosgene during hours of maximum UV irradiation (9.30-11am). |
