Question

dSPE is used to clean up extracted samples of these substances in QuECHeRS (“catchers”) analysis. (-5[1])Differences in the MRLs of these substances especially affect exports in developing countries. Temperature inversions can accelerate “drift” in volatile examples of these substances like Dicamba. (-5[1])Imidacloprid is the most common member of a neuroactive class (10[1])of these substances, the neonicotinoids. (10[4])Reliance on these non-specific (10[3])chemicals (10[3])is decreased (10[1])in a method of “integrated (-5[1])management” of their (10[2])targets. (10[1]-5[2])Resistance (10[1])to one of these (-5[1])substances named glyphosate (10[2]-5[1])is a (10[1])property of Monsanto’s (10[1])Roundup (10[1])Ready line. (10[4])One (10[1])of these (10[1])substances (10[2])that caused (10[2])widespread eggshell (10[1])thinning in bald eagles in the (10[1])1960s (10[1])was criticized in Silent Spring. For 10 points, DDT is an example of what chemicals (10[2])that target (10[1])hazards to crops? (10[2])■END■ (10[2]0[1])
