Hi Friends!

I am recent member from this Forums and I was thinking about a very interesting topic for discussion.
It is well known that Pollution can affect Environment in many ways, currently there is a World Wide Concern about what could happen with the Soil that is mostly used either for Producing Foods and Drugs or BioChemical Raw Materials for Industry.

Environmental Solutions have been Developed for Treating the Waste Water, there are lot of Books about Air Pollution Control and Solid Waste Management. When we talk about Indoor Pollution, we find literature about Noise and even Electromagnetic Radiation Pollution, so the whole issue about Environment seems to be pretty well documented now a days.

It is the Purpose of this Topic, to Exchange Ideas, to Create some Interest and to Share Information or Sources(Links, Articles, etc...) about the less 'Popular' Pollution that influences the Quality from Foods and Drugs we use often.

I would like to Classify this Topic into three sub-Topics before we Start this Discussion:

Genetically Modified Seeds, Crops, and Products.

Chemical Pesticides.

Chemical Fertilizers.

International Standards, Laws and Regulations from Soil Quality.

As a final Note, I would like to ask a few Technical Questions for those ones who already have some Background and a Good Knowledge about this issues. The Questions are:

- How can I evaluate the Productive-Half-Life from a Soil according to the Chemicals that I use?
- How can I predict or Estimate the Containing Level from this Chemicals on the final Product?
- How can I determine and Quantify the Environmental side Effects from the Chemicals used?

Thanks in advance to Everyone,

Have Fun, keep Studying, Best Wishes...
