| Popis: | Three sampling campaigns were performed in the Lis River (Leiria, Portugal) in February of 2018, November of 2018, and May of 2019. River water and wastewater (influent and effluent) samples of two wastewater treatment plants were target of the study. A total of 25 samples were collected and 50 pesticides were monitored, including organochlorines, triazines, pyrethroids, and organophosphorus, among others. Most of the detected pesticides were insecticides and mainly organochlorines. Concentrations between 1.29 and 2134 ng/L were found. Aldrin, γ-HCH, and cypermethrin were detected in some samples in μg/L, being γ-HCH the pesticide most frequently detected with concentration in μg/L level. The pesticides with the highest detection frequency were (i) cypermethrin, HCB, methoxychlor, and ζ-HCH in river waters; (ii) isoproturon, cypermethrin, methoxychlor, pyrimethanil, γ-HCH, dieldrin, diuron, α-HCH, and α-endosulfan in effluents; and (iii) diuron and isoproturon in influents. The detection of the organochlorides and their degradation products is a consequence of their persistence in the environment, as their usage has long been prohibited in the European Union. Pesticides were grouped by their types in herbicides, insecticides, or fungicides and the detection and concentration for each type were discussed with the climatic conditions. Pesticide toxicity index was determined in the samples collected in the river. |
