regulation of diffuse pesticide pollution combining point Source Reduction and mitigation in stormwater wetland rouffach france
Ecological Engineering, 2013Co-Authors: F. Destandau, Gwenael Imfeld, Anne RozanAbstract:Abstract The economic crisis and increasingly stringent water quality requirements demand integrative approaches to reduce pesticide pollution in aquatic ecosystems and limit water treatment. In this study, environmental economists and wetland scientists joined forces to analyze the combination of different abatement measures to reduce pollution with more efficiency. Pesticide Reduction directly at Source (i.e., Reduction of pesticide use), and combining pesticide Source Reduction with mitigation using a stormwater wetland to treat pesticide runoff are compared. The capacity of the buffer zone to reduce additional diffuse pollution with a given total abatement cost is evaluated, by placing emphasis on how the contribution of a buffer zone evolves according to the total cost. Fungicides were used as a representative class of synthetic pesticides widely used in vine growing, and more largely in conventional agriculture. Our results show that coupling Reduction of pesticide Source with the use of buffer zones collecting pesticide runoff can be economically advantageous. For a given total cost, the Reduction of fungicide runoff is 90% greater when pesticide Reduction at Source is combined with pesticide mitigation by a stormwater wetland compared to the case of pesticide Reduction at Source only. However, the higher the total cost is, the more it is necessary to reduce pesticides at Source and thus reduce pesticide mass transfer into aquatic systems. The results of this study is anticipated to be a starting point for considering cost and efficiency when combining different measures targeting pesticide mitigation in surface water, and in particular when using stormwater wetlands as a management practice.

TAMING A TIGER IN THE CITY: COMPARISON OF MOTORIZED BACKPACK APPLICATIONS AND Source Reduction AGAINST THE ASIAN TIGER MOSQUITO, AEDES ALBOPICTUS
Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2014Co-Authors: Debin Sun, Eric Williges, Isik Unlu, Sean P. Healy, Gregory M. Williams, Peter J. Obenauer, Tony Hughes, George B. Schoeler, Randy Gaugler, Dina M. FonsecaAbstract:We evaluated 2 strategies to manage Aedes albopictus: 1) motorized backpack applications and 2) Source Reduction (coupled with hand-applied applications of larvicide). Backpack applications used a water-dispersible granular formulation (VectoBacH WDG) of Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti), whereas Source Reduction used granular formulations of the insect growth regulator methoprene (AltosidH) combined with a monomolecular film surfactant (AgniqueH). Six subplots (total 8.02 ha) were selected for backpack applications, Source Reduction, and control groups. The experiments were blind with applications conducted randomly and independently. Efficacy was determined through placement of bioassay cups with larvae within experimental plots 1 day before treatment. Backpack applications resulted in 76% (68.2% SE) and Source Reduction resulted in 92% (64.1% SE) larval mortality. Backpack applications required 50 times less labor than Source Reduction (0.25 versus 0.005 ha/h). The cost of backpack applications, including labor, was $159.88/ha, compared with $659.65/ha for Source Reduction. Although overall efficacy was slightly lower, motorized backpack applications of Bti were more efficient and cost-effective than Source Reduction methods to control Ae. albopictus in urban settings at the community level.

crouching tiger hidden trouble urban Sources of aedes albopictus diptera culicidae refractory to Source Reduction
PLOS ONE, 2013Co-Authors: Isik Unlu, Ary Farajollahi, Daniel Strickman, Dina M. FonsecaAbstract:Our ultimate objective is to design cost-effective control strategies for Aedes albopictus, the Asian tiger mosquito, an important urban nuisance and disease vector that expanded worldwide during the last 40 years. We conducted mosquito larval surveys from May through October 2009 in the City of Trenton, New Jersey, USA, while performing intensive monthly Source-Reduction campaigns that involved removing, emptying, or treating all accessible containers with larvicides and pupicides. We examined patterns of occurrence of Ae. albopictus and Culex pipiens, another urban mosquito, among different container types by comparing observed and expected number of positive containers of each type. Expected use was based on the relative frequency of each container type in the environment. Aedes albopictus larvae and pupae were found significantly more often than expected in medium volumes of water in buckets and plant saucers but were rarely collected in small volumes of water found in trash items such as discarded cups and cans. They were also absent from large volumes of water such as in abandoned swimming pools and catch basins, although we consistently collected Cx. pipiens from those habitats. The frequency of Ae. albopictus in tires indicated rapid and extensive use of these ubiquitous urban containers. Standard larval-based indices did not correlate with adult catches in BG-Sentinel traps, but when based only on Ae. albopictus key containers (buckets, plant saucers, equipment with pockets of water, and tires) they did. Although we found that only 1.2% of the 20,039 water-holding containers examined contained immature Ae. albopictus (5.3% if only key containers were counted), adult populations were still above nuisance action thresholds six times during the 2009 mosquito season. We conclude that in urban New Jersey, effective Source Reduction for Ae. albopictus control will require scrupulous and repeated cleaning or treatment of everyday use containers and extensive homeowner collaboration.

Source Reduction behavior as an independent measurement of the impact of a public health education campaign in an integrated vector management program for the asian tiger mosquito
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2011Co-Authors: Kristen Bartletthealy, Isik Unlu, Sean P. Healy, Randy Gaugler, Dina M. Fonseca, Ary Farajollahi, George C Hamilton, Taryn Crepeau, Gary G Clark, Daniel StrickmanAbstract:The goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a public health educational campaign to reduce backyard mosquito-larval habitats. Three communities each, within two New Jersey counties, were randomly selected to receive: (1) both education and mosquito control, (2) education only, and (3) no education or mosquito control. Four separate educational events included a 5-day elementary school curriculum in the spring, and three door to door distributions of educational brochures. Before and after each educational event, the numbers of mosquito-larval container habitats were counted in 50 randomly selected homes per study area. Container surveys allowed us to measure Source Reduction behavior. Although we saw Reductions in container habitats in sites receiving education, they were not significantly different from the control. Our results suggest that traditional passive means of public education, which were often considered the gold standard for mosquito control programs, are not sufficient to motivate residents to reduce backyard mosquito-larval habitats.
