Dispersion and transport of Rhodamine B dye and methoxychlor in running water: A preliminary study

A comparison has been made of the profiles of concentration and the duration of passage of both the insecticide (Methoxychlor) and a fluorescent dye (Rhodamine B) at various distances downstream from experimental treatments for the control of blackfly larvae. It has been shown that the dye can provi...

Description
Summary:A comparison has been made of the profiles of concentration and the duration of passage of both the insecticide (Methoxychlor) and a fluorescent dye (Rhodamine B) at various distances downstream from experimental treatments for the control of blackfly larvae. It has been shown that the dye can provide useful information for planning future larvicide treatments and can form a basis for monitoring insecticide concentrations downstream from ground-level application sites, or for predicting effects in other streams of similar character in advance of actual or potential loadings.
