What is the movement of pesticide vapors and gases caused by chemical volatilization of the product known as?

  1. Leaching

  2. Particle Drift (Dust Drift)

  3. Runoff

  4. Vapor Drift

The correct answer is: Vapor Drift

Pesticide vapors and gases can be dispersed and carried by wind, resulting in movement known as vapor drift. Leaching refers to the downward movement of pesticides through soil, and is not caused by volatilization. Particle drift or dust drift refers to the movement of solid particles of a pesticide through the air, often causing contamination of nearby areas. Runoff refers to the movement of liquid pesticides over the surface of the land, typically due to water or precipitation. Therefore, option D is the most accurate answer as it specifically refers to the movement caused by volatilization.
