Proceedings of a symposium held in San Francisco in April 1992. The urban environment discussed includes homes, yards, gardens, public parks, golf courses, and restaurants. Some common products for the urban market are turf pesticides, termiticides, home and garden pesticides, indoor pesticides, and rodenticides. The papers are divided into five sections, each focusing on a different facet of urban pesticide use: pests and pesticides, dissipation of pesticides, mobility of pesticides, urban pesticides and humans, and urban pesticides and nontarget animals.

This book examines social processes that have contributed to growing pesticide use, with a particular focus on the role governments play in urban aerial pesticide spraying operations. Beyond being applied to sparsely populated farmland, pesticides have been increasingly used in densely populated urban environments, and when faced with invasive species, governments have resorted to large-scale aerial pesticide spraying operations in urban areas. This book focuses on New Zealand's 2002–2004 pesticide campaign to eradicate the Painted Apple Moth, which is the largest operation of its kind in world history, whether we consider its duration (29 months), its scope (at its peak the spraying zone was 10,632 hectares/26,272 acres), the number of sprayings that were administered (the pesticide was administered on 60 different days), or the number of people exposed to the spraying (190,000+). This book provides an in-depth understanding of the social processes that contributed to the incursion, why the government sought to eradicate the moth through aerial pesticide spraying, the ideological strategies they used to build and maintain public support, and why those strategies were effective. Urban Aerial Pesticide Spraying Campaigns will be of great interest to students and researchers of pesticides, environmental sociology, environmental history, environmental studies, political ecology, geography, medical sociology, and science and technology studies.

In highly urbanized areas, intensive use of pyrethroids has led to offsite transport to surface waters at concentrations known to cause toxicity to aquatic organisms. However, there is limited knowledge on the occurrence and distribution of pyrethroids in urban settings, or the role dust particles play in offsite transport of pyrethroids. Additionally, when pyrethroids enter the environment, they undergo transformation to form a common degradation product 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA), which has been shown to cause endocrine disruption. However, little research has been conducted on the formation of 3-PBA in urban environments, its occurrence in urban streams, or its stability in different environmental matrices. Here we first evaluated the occurrence of particle-borne insecticides including pyrethroids in outdoor urban dust and studied their spatial and temporal distribution patterns and correlation with particle sizes. Temporally, particle-bound insecticides increased over the dry season and then significantly decreased after winter rains. Spatially, levels of pyrethroids in dust did not differ with distance from point of application, suggesting redistribution. Pyrethroids were found to associate predominantly with the smallest particle size fraction in dust. These findings suggest that loose particles are likely a significant source for offsite contamination of insecticides. In a subsequent study, we investigated pyrethroid transformation processes on concrete and 3-PBA formation. Pyrethroid degradation was rapid with hydrolysis being the most significant pathway, leading to rapid formation of 3-PBA. Low levels of 3-PBA were constantly detected in urban surface water, suggesting the need to understand chronic exposure and risk to aquatic species. In order to aid risk assessment of 3-PBA, in the last study we examined its stability in different environmental matrices. The half-life of 3-PBA in surface water and aerobic sediments was relatively short, while it was prolonged in soil and anaerobic sediments. These results further suggested that urban soil may be a source of 3-PBA to surface water or underlying groundwater, and due to the continuous input, additional research is needed to evaluate adverse effects on non-target organisms.
