“…The widespread use of atrazine throughout the season determines a diffuse occurrence, as described for glyphosate and by Quaghebeur et al [30], although the lower doses used in comparison with those of glyphosate are reflected in the concentrations we found. Other factors affecting its presence in water samples are its low adsorption to soil [53] and its persistence and ease of movement in the environment by drift, leaching or runoff [54], behavior similar to its secondary metabolites [55]. Thus, Solomon et al [56] collected half-life values of atrazine in water of 41-237 days and some authors reported residues of atrazine and its metabolites in surface and groundwater several years after use [51,57].…”

Pesticides in water sources used for human consumption in the semiarid region of Argentina

et al. 2020

Presence of pesticides in drinking water is an issue of great concern in agricultural areas. In Argentina's semiarid regions, where surface water sources are scarce and groundwater may be of poor quality, rainwater becomes important for safe water supply. The expansion of agriculture in these regions due to no till management has led to a high use of pesticides which jeopardize the safety of all water sources used for human consumption. The objective was to monitor the presence of pesticides in different water sources from two agricultural areas of Santiago del Estero. Samples belonged to cisterns in which rainwater is collected, wells and dams. The most contaminated sources were dams, followed by cisterns and wells. Applied doses and frequency of use played an important role in the presence of pesticides. Thus, the most frequent molecules were mainly herbicides; atrazine and metolachlor were the most abundant. Glyphosate and aminomethylphosphonic acid presented the highest concentrations. Almost all measured values were below the US Environmental Protection Agency limits, but 73% of the samples exceeded the limit of 0.5 μg L −1 established by the European Union for the sum of molecules although only 7.4% of individual molecules exceeded the limit of 0.1 μg L −1. However, risk assessment showed that pesticides from all sources presented a low potential risk to human health through drinking water exposure route.

“…Field channels and drainage systems associated with oilseed rape production were analysed for insecticide levels in Wielkopolska Province (Drożdżyński 2008). Additionally, the degradation products of atrazine were detected in sediments and surface waters of the Silesia region (Barchańska et al 2017).…”

The migration of pesticide residues in groundwater at a bank filtration site (Krajkowo well field, Poland)

et al. 2019

River bank filtration systems are widely used for water supply purposes. Using these systems, the movement of water over short distances between the river bottom and extraction wells can decrease the concentrations of some contaminants. Such systems are especially important for the removal of specific micro-pollutants that seasonally appear in river water. In this article, pesticides migration at the Krajkowo well field is analysed based on different water extraction schemes. The water is extracted by two groups of wells (one located 60-80 m from the Warta River, and the second located more than 400 m from the river) and by a horizontal well with radial drains located 5 m below the river bottom. Based on this scheme, the rate of pesticide residues removal was analysed in wells located at different distances from the river channel. The results of the three sampling campaigns conducted in summer and autumn 2017 and winter 2018 indicate the presence of pesticide compounds in the Warta River (max. total concentration of 0.171 μg/l). The pesticides were also present in the horizontal well (max. total concentration of 0.137 μg/l). Much smaller concentrations (max. 0.064 μg/l) were observed in vertical wells located 60-80 m from the river. Additionally, in the well located 250 m from the river, only two pesticide constituents were detected (at concentrations just above the detection limit), and in a well located 680 m from the river, the concentrations of pesticide residues were below the detection limit (excluding isoproturon, which was slightly above the detection limit). This research illustrates the effectiveness of pesticides removal by river bank filtration.

“…Beside good properties in the control of weeds, this herbicide is a potential pollutant, wherein sulcotrione and its degradation product (2-chloro-4-(methylosulfonyl) benzoic acid were detected in high concentrations in water from the Klodnica River in Poland. 12 Results of some studies have indicated that sulcotrione and/or its degradation products are toxic toward microorganism Vibrio fischeri, 13 genotoxic towards Allium cepa root meristem 14 and Vicia faba seedlings. 15 Considering that pesticides have a negative influence on living organisms, the need for their monitoring and control has become more obvious in recent years.…”

In this paper the efficiency of photocatalytic degradation of different pesticides was investigated using bare TiO 2 and TiO 2 nanoparticles modified with polyaniline under simulated solar irradiation. Sulcotrione showed the highest percentage degradation and further experiments were related to this herbicide. Mineralization and cytotoxicity of the starting compound and intermediate species formed during the decomposition in double distilled water (DDW), as well as the efficiency of removal from various environmental waters were studied. The contents of the most abundant ions present in the River Danube were simulated in DDW and their influence was evaluated. It was found that cytotoxicity was in all cases below 11 % and the efficiency of photocatalytic degradation in environmental waters was decreased compared with DDW. Furthermore, addition of different scavengers revealed that the main path of degradation is through holes, while the presence of H 2 O 2 decreased and KBrO 3 increased the efficiency of photocatalytic degradation compared with the system without the mentioned electron acceptors.
