Abstract
The metabolic fate of pesticides and herbicides in plants and animals is a topic of practical interest both to research workers who are striving to reduce the risk of toxic residues and to those looking for chemicals that possess systemic activity. Typical of this kind of investigation is the present contribution from Utrecht that illustrates how foreign substances may become embroiled in the intimate chemical reactions of organisms.
