F ield visits were carried out during January 2006 along the north part of Nubia Lake for collecting samples offish; water and sediment to ensure the vvater quality safety before entering Egypt. The results indicated that residues of organochlorine and organophosphorus pesticides are present at Low concentrations in the water and majority of common species. These residues have apparently originated from the areas of intensive pesticide application in the Gezera and along the White Nile in central Sudan. So, it is essential that continuous monitoring of residues in the environmental components of the whole lake should be conducted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
