An agricultural chemical is applied to soil, but only part reaches its intended target. Some moves downward with water, some is carried away in runoff, some volatilizes, and another fraction is transformed through microbial and chemical reactions. From an environmental-management perspective, what is the most important conclusion from these simultaneous pathways?

Soil application does not guarantee that a chemical will remain at the application site; transport and transformation processes can redistribute it among soil, water, and air and may convert it into harmful or harmless products.

Once applied to soil, an organic chemical has only one possible environmental fate.

Leaching and runoff are forms of pesticide degradation and therefore always eliminate environmental risk.

Volatilization permanently removes a pesticide from the environment without creating any possibility of air pollution.

They generally have less mixing and aeration.

They cannot contain dissolved oxygen.

They receive no groundwater.

They contain no microorganisms capable of decomposition.

Which statement best explains why controlling sulfur dioxide emissions alone may not completely solve acid-deposition problems?

Nitrogen oxides and other contributing compounds can continue to generate acidic deposition even when sulfur dioxide declines.

Sulfur dioxide has no relationship to acid deposition.

Acid deposition occurs only through dry particles and therefore cannot be controlled through emission reductions.

Acid deposition is controlled entirely by carbon dioxide.

Plastic dissolves immediately into toxic acids.

Plastic increases the insulation value of marine animals.
