Concentrations in Natural Soil (μg/kg)

These spatial natural soil concentration maps display modeled environmental concentrations of pesticides across Europe, expressed in μg/kg. The maps are based on spatially explicit pesticide application data (2016-2020) combined with emission modeling (PestLCI Consensus model) and environmental fate simulations using the Pangea multimedia fate model. The polygon boundaries represent terrestrial catchments from Pangea's multi-scale grid architecture, which provides variable spatial grid areas with high resolution in regions of high agricultural activity. Concentration values are NOT measured field data, but represent steady-state modeled estimates and account for chemical transport, phase partitioning, and degradation processes across the European landscape. The color-coded legend uses percentile-based bins spanning more than 7 orders of magnitude, calculated across all values for consistent comparison between chemicals, and with grey areas indicating regions with no data.
