Comparison of earthworm and chemical assays of the bioavailability of aged 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene, 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane, and heavy metals in orchard soils
(2012)Orchard soils can contain elevated concentrations of 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene (p,p′-DDE), 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane (p,p′-DDT), and heavy metals as a result of historical agrichemical ... -
Developing site-specific guidelines for orchard soils based on bioaccessibility – Can it be done?
(New Zealand Institute of Chemistry, 2008-04)Horticultural land within the periurban fringe of NZ towns and cities increasingly is being developed for residential subdivision. Recent surveys have shown that concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and ΣDDT (sum of DDT and ... -
Evidence for a seasonal fluctuation of arsenic in New Zealand's longest river and the effect of treatment on concentrations in drinking water
(Elsevier, 1995)A year-long survey, with samples collected weekly, was conducted to estimate long-term average concentrations of arsenic in treated and untreated drinking water for the city of Hamilton, New Zealand. The average concentration ... -
An investigation into the process of dealumination in soils of the Auckland, Bay of Plenty and Waikato regions of New Zealand
(Elsevier, 2012)Dealumination is a term used to describe an increase in the concentration of acid extractable Al as a result of accelerated weathering or chemical attack of primary crystalline and short-range order aluminosilicates. Two ... -
Uptake of ΣDDT, arsenic, cadmium, copper, and lead by lettuce and radish grown in contaminated horticultural soils
(American Chemical Society, 2008)Horticultural soils can contain elevated concentrations of selected trace elements and organochlorine pesticides as a result of long-term use of agrichemicals and soil amendments. A glasshouse study was undertaken to assess ...

Evaluation of near-infrared spectroscopy for analysis of soil and plant in agriculture
(The University of Waikato, 2006)In this research, a critical scientific appraisal of Near Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy for the analysis of soil and plant is presented. Near Infrared measurements in the study were collected using a KESNIR spectrometer with ... -
Persistence and availability of agrichemical residues in New Zealand horticultural soils
(The University of Waikato, 2006)New Zealand has a long history of intensive horticulture and many of the greenfield sites designated for residential development have previously been extensively used for horticulture. Currently there is limited information ...
