Malathion is an organophosphate pesticidethat is used often in residential andcommercial landscaping. A landscapingcompany came and applied the pesticide to alawn and after a couple of days. Anenvironmental science student sampled thesoil and analyzed the pesticide content. Thestudent found the soil concentration ofmalathion to be 6.26 ppm. Assume a soilorganic content of 1.5%, a soil particle densityof 2.0 mg/L, and a soil porosity of 45%. If itrains the next day and water mixes well withthe soil, estimate the concentration ofmalathion in the soil water.

Organophosphates are the most widely used insecticides and pesticides today. They are used in…
