Abstract

Pesticide loss to stream water was studied in a small agricultural catchment in southern Sweden during the period 1990-1996. A total of 38 pesticides were detected in water samples, including 30 herbicides, four fungicides, three insecticides and one metabolite of one of the herbicides. Concentrations of pesticides in stream water were observed throughout the sampling periods. Peak concentrations occurred during the spraying seasons and following runoff events. Daily average concentrations sometimes varied by one order of magnitude from one day to another. Pesticides were also found in water samples as a result of incautious actions during handling and application procedures. Concentrations were lower at the outlet of the catchment area when the water had passed an open part of the stream, compared to concentrations detected in discharge from a culvert system upstream. This was largely a result of dilution from groundwater intrusion during low-flow periods. Sampling at different sites along the culvert demonstrated that the small village situated in the catchment did not contribute to pesticide findings in the culvert discharge. Wind drift had little influence on stream-water quality. Pesticide application for weed control in f...Continue Reading

Antifungals

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.
