PESTICIDES: CARBAMATES

You will prepare a power point presentation, 30-40 slides in length. Single reference slide at the end. Alternative
presentation types may also be used; for example, you can create a video if you prefer.

a. For the chosen chemical, or class of chemical, you should discuss and present its chemistry (i.e., chemical features that
contribute to its activity), mode(s) of action, fate in the environment, biotransformation or detoxification,
bioavailability, effects at different ecological levels (from organismal to ecosystem), and risk assessment.

b. You may choose a single chemical or a class of chemicals. There are drawbacks and advantages to each. A class of chemicals
with individual toxins that have dissimilar activities and modes of action in biota (e.g., POPs) might be difficult to cover
in the allotted time. Alternatively, if you pick a single chemical you might run into a literature acquisition problem,
although this is not too likely unless you choose a newly emerging contaminant for which testing has not been done.
