Pesticides are among the most employed compounds worldwide and play an important role in modern agriculture. However, their inadequate management can lead to contamination of the environment. When pesticides enter soils and water bodies, they produce negative impacts on ecosystems through diffuse or point source contamination. The last comprises processes like improper handling or leaks of spraying liquid, remnants, and washes of the spraying equipment, and they can be controlled by agricultural good practices. |
