Insecticide concentrations in stream sediments of soy production regions of South America.

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
Multiple insecticides were found in almost all stream sediment samples in intensive soy production regions, with pyrethroids most often occurring at acutely toxic concentrations, and the greatest potential for insecticide toxicity occurring in streams with minimum buffer width<20 m.

Pyrethroid pesticide residues in the global environment: an overview.

TL;DR: This review summarized the available studies on pyrethroid residues since 1986 in different media at the global scale and indicated that pyrethroids have been widely detected in a range of environments (including soils, water, sediments, and indoors) and in organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global occurrence of pyrethroid insecticides in sediment and the associated toxicological effects on benthic invertebrates: An overview.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that pyrethroids are not only commonly detected in the aquatic environment, but also can cause toxic effects to benthic invertebrates, and calls for better development of accurate sediment quality criteria and effective ecological risk assessment methods for this emerging class of insecticides.
Journal ArticleDOI

Occurrence and fate of pesticides in the Argentine stretch of the Paraguay-Paraná basin

TL;DR: The results from both campaigns indicated a generalized but variable distribution in the concentrations detected throughout the basin, with Endosulfans, cypermethrin, and chlorpyrifos were ubiquitous compounds in both environmental compartments and quantitatively the most relevant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pesticide mixtures in the Swedish streams: Environmental risks, contributions of individual compounds and consequences of single-substance oriented risk mitigation.

TL;DR: The risk of the analyzed pesticide mixtures to crustaceans and fish is systematically underestimated because analytical detection limits, especially for insecticides, were insufficient to analyze concentrations at or near their WQO's.

Relative importance for linear regression in R: The package relaimpo

TL;DR: A brief tutorial introduction to the R package relaimpo, which implements six different metrics for assessing relative importance of regressors in the linear model, and a newly proposed metric (Feldman 2005) called pmvd.

Mitigation strategies to reduce pesticide inputs into ground- and surface water and their effectiveness; A review

TL;DR: The current knowledge on mitigation strategies to reduce pesticide inputs into surface water and groundwater, and their effectiveness when applied in practice is reviewed, and recommended measures considered both effective and feasible are recommended for implementing at the farm and catchment scale.

Thresholds for the Effects of Pesticides on Invertebrate Communities and Leaf Breakdown in Stream Ecosystems

TL;DR: The UP threshold for single pesticides based on D. magna is not protective for field communities subject to multiple stressors, pesticide mixtures, and repeated exposures and that risk mitigation measures, such as forested landscape patches, can alleviate effects of pesticides.

Toxicity of mixtures of pesticides in aquatic systems

TL;DR: The paper assesses the usefulness of the concept of ‘concentration addition’ (CA) for describing the joint effect of pesticides on aquatic organisms, based on literature data from 1972 to 1998 and found that for more than 90% of 202 mixtures in 26 studies, CA was found to predict effect concentrations correctly.
