Pesticides in streams and subsurface drainage water within two arable catchments in Denmark: Pesticide application, concentration, transport and fate

Abstract
Anvendelsen af pesticider i landbruget har betydning for fund af pesticider i dræn og vandløb. Emnet er blevet undersøgt i to vandløbsoplande. 42 ud af 49 undersøgte pesticider blev fundet i dræn og vandløb. Undersøgelsen viser at små vandløb i drænede områder er mest udsatte for pesticidforurening. De højeste koncentrationer af pesticider i dræn og vandløb findes pulsagtigt i forbindelse med regnvejr i sprøjtesæsonerne. Fund af pesticider i vandløb stemmer generelt godt sammen med anvendelsen.
