Matrix: Water
Water sampling and analyses
Water samples were collected from CSS with surface water bodies like small rivers, stream channels, small lakes, or ponds connected to or close to the sampled fields. Between 3 and 8 water bodies were sampled per CSS. One composite water sample of ~2L was collected per water body. Water samples were collected sub-superficially (directly collected with a polypropylene bottle) at three points of the water body at least 10 meters from each other. After sampling, the water samples were stored at -20°C and sent to CIEMAT in Madrid, Spain for pesticide analysis.
Each dot in the graph below shows the total pesticide concentration (i.e., the sum of all detected pesticides) for an individual sample. By clicking on each graph, you can view more in-depth information on the most frequently detected pesticides in the samples, including their median concentrations and the analysis results grouped by detection status and regulatory category.
