Sources of pesticides in surface waters in Switzerland: pesticide load through waste water treatment plants––current situation and reduction potential

Concentrations of pesticides in Swiss rivers and lakes frequently exceed the Swiss quality goal of 0.1 μg/l for surface waters. In this study, concentrations of various pesticides (e.g., atrazine, diuron, mecoprop) were continuously measured in the effluents of waste water treatment plants and in tw...

description Concentrations of pesticides in Swiss rivers and lakes frequently exceed the Swiss quality goal of 0.1 μg/l for surface waters. In this study, concentrations of various pesticides (e.g., atrazine, diuron, mecoprop) were continuously measured in the effluents of waste water treatment plants and in two rivers during a period of four months. These measurements revealed that in the catchment of Lake Greifensee, farmers who did not perfectly comply with `good agricultural practice' caused at least 14% of the measured agricultural herbicide load into surface waters. Pesticides, used for additional purposes in urban areas (i.e. protection of materials, conservation, etc.), entered surface waters up to 75% through waste water treatment plants.
