Contamination of fee-fishing ponds with agrochemicals used in sugarcane crops

Abstract: The increasing use of agrochemicals negatively affects the environment while the generated residues impact the hydrographic networks which feed the rivers and fishing ponds, so this work investigates pesticide contamination in the supply and fishing tank waters and bottom sediment of fee-fishing ponds located in micro-basins planted with sugarcane. The results are expected to indicate the water contamination level and the impact on both the environment and human health. Therefore, water and bottom sediments fr… Show more

“…Isoxaflutole is increasingly being used as a replacement for atrazine, a herbicide that was widely used until it was banned in the EU in 2004. In turn, isoxaflutole has been reported as a potential emerging water pollutant both in the U.S. and in the EU [43,44], and it has also been reported for its algal toxicity [48]. To ensure the accuracy of algal toxicity tests, the stability of the compound during the test was verified by determining the differences in the degradation of isoxaflutole in distilled water and Z8 medium, the preferred medium for culturing Cyanobacteria.…”

“…Isoxaflutole and its metabolites are very mobile in soil [41]. The water solubility of isoxaflutole is 6.2 µg/mL (20 • C), while its degradation half-life (DT 50 ) in water ranges between 3.2 h and 11 days depending on temperature and pH [38], but its substantially (52-fold) more water-soluble diketonitrile metabolite is stable to hydrolysis [42], and isoxaflutole, along with its diketonitrile and benzoic acid metabolites, has been detected in surface waters [43,44] and classified as a persistent water pollutant [45] via its metabolites, with particular potential to contaminate shallow groundwater. The water contamination potential increases with increasing application rates of isoxaflutole (see below).…”
