Fig. 4. Co-occurrence of acetochlor parent and acetochlor soil degradate (tertiary amide sulfonic acid and tertiary amide oxanilic acid) residues. Values reflect the number of program wells with observed residues in samples collected from 1999 through study completion. ESA, ethanesulfonic acid; OXA, oxanilic acid.

Fig. 8. Co-occurrence of (a) tertiary amide sulfonic acid (ethanesulfonic acid, ESA) soil degradate residues and (b) tertiary amide oxanilic acid (OXA) soil degradate residues. Values reflect the number of program wells with observed residues. No ESA soil degradate residues were observed in 49 of the 182 wells and no OXA soil degradate residues were observed in 110 of the 182 wells.
