Title:
Fate of Pesticides in Surface Waters, Laboraty and Field Experiments

Summary:
This report presents the results of laboratory and field experiments concerning the fate of pesticides in surface water performed in connection to the construction of a model-based tool for evaluation of the fate of pesticides in surface water. The report contains the results of sorption and degradation experiments performed with a number of pesticides and sediments under different conditions. The sorption and degradation model from the tool has been fitted to the experimental results and the estimated model parameters, which can be used for evaluation of the tool, are presented in the report. Furthermore, the report presents the results of field experiments, in which the fate of different pesticides sprayed onto artificial ponds, with and without

Abstract in Danish:
Denne rapport indeholder resultaterne af laboratorie- og feltforsøg vedrørende pesticiders skæbne i overfladevand udført i forbindelse med udarbejdelsen af et modelbaseret værktøj til forudsigelse af pesticiders skæbne i overfladevand. Rapporten indeholder resultaterne af sorptions- og nedbrydningsforsøg med en række pesticider og forskellige sedimenter under forskellige forhold. Sorptions- og nedbrydningsmodellen fra værktøjet er fittet til resultaterne, og de herved fremkomne modelparametre, som kan bruges til vurdering af værktøjet, præsenteres i rapporten. Rapporten indeholder desuden resultaterne af feltforsøg, hvor skæbnen af forskellige pesticider spredt ud over kunstige vandhuller, med og uden planter, er fulgt.
