introduction
To reduce the impact of pesticide use on the ecological environment and provide data that meets the requirements of pesticide environmental risk assessment, an environmental safety assessment is necessary.
The experiment aims to clarify the characteristics of pesticides in the environment, such as metabolism, degradation, adsorption, leaching, and bioaccumulation, as well as their toxicity to non-target organisms.
GB/T 31270, "Test Guidelines for Environmental Safety Evaluation of Chemical Pesticides," is a standard for test methods guiding environmental safety evaluation of pesticides in my country.
The standardization of pesticide environmental safety evaluation testing and the improvement of the scientific rigor and comparability of pesticide environmental safety evaluation testing consist of 23 parts.
---Part 1.Soil Metabolism Experiment. The aim is to clarify the metabolic pathways and rates of pesticides in soil.
---Part 2.Hydrolysis Tests. The purpose is to clarify the hydrolysis pathways and rates of pesticides.
---Part 3.Photolysis Experiment. The purpose is to clarify the photolysis pathway and rate of pesticides.
---Part 4.Soil Adsorption/Desorption Tests. The purpose is to clarify the soil adsorption characteristics of pesticides.
---Part 5.Soil Leaching Test. The purpose is to determine the leaching properties of pesticides.
---Part 6.Volatility Test. The purpose is to determine the volatility of pesticides.
---Part 7.Bioaccumulation Test. The purpose is to determine the bioaccumulation of pesticides in fish.

3.Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this document.
3.1
Microorganisms degrade nitrogen-containing organic matter into inorganic end products, nitrates, through ammoniation and nitrification.
4.Principles
The addition of the test substance may inhibit or promote ammonification and nitrification by soil microorganisms, thereby affecting the degradation of nitrogen-containing organic matter in the soil.
It is a nitrate. The test substance was added to test soil mixed with an appropriate amount of organic substrate for treatment, and then cultured under certain conditions.
At a certain time interval, samples were periodically taken and the nitrate content in the treatment group and the control group was measured to compare the nitrogen conversion between the two groups.
Differences in conversion rates are used to determine whether the test substance has a long-term effect on nitrogen transformation in the soil.
