Extractions: 4. PESTICIDES IN THE ENVIRONMENT Transportation and Dispersion of Pesticides in Soil, Air and Water 4.1 Pesticides are released into the environment through human activities. They may contribute to point source pollution and area source pollution. A point source of pollution is a source such as an urban water collection system outfall which discharges pesticide-contaminated water at a specific location. An area source, for example, is one which discharges earth contaminated by pesticides into the aquatic environment. Agricultural area pollution is the greatest and most problematic source of pollution in aquatic environments in Canada. Once in the environment, certain pesticides break down relatively quickly, whereas others persist over longer periods of time and can accumulate or transform into contaminant by-products. In addition to movement through soil, pesticides can be mobilized by precipitation and wind. 4.2 Committee members learned from the testimony of Dr. Bernard Hill a scientist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's Lethbridge Research Centre, that precipitation helps pesticides disperse far from their source through the natural phenomena of water evaporation and condensation. A study conducted in Alberta in 1998 showed that large quantities of the herbicide 2,4-D were found in precipitation in that region, even though that product breaks down quickly in the presence of oxygen. Researchers developed a number of hypotheses to explain this phenomenon which is specific to the Lethbridge area. They believe that the presence of pesticides in rain reflects the fact that Lethbridge farmers are among the greatest 2,4-D users in Alberta (more than 20,000 kg of 2,4-D is applied for grain production annually).

Extractions: ANALYSIS OF PESTICIDES AND THEIR METABOLITES IN SOIL AND WATER To determine occurence, degradation, sorption and leaching of pesticides and other organic chemicals, the group uses analytical chemical methods. In some cases present methods can be adapted whereas other methods has to be developed to the particular task. Analytical equipments used are LC/MS, GC/MS, HPLC, and GC. In several cases the conventional analytical methods are combined with use of carbon-14 labelled chemicals, which are determined by liquid scintillation counting. DEGRADATION OF PESTICIDES IN SOIL Degradation of pesticides is determined with either carbon-14 or conventional pesticides. The experiments focus on the influence between the rate of degradation and factors like pesticide concentration, soil treatment, temperature, water content and soil type. Degradation is also determined in soils sampled below the root zone.

Unfortunately, it's not as simple as that. Pesticides are poisons, otherwise they wouldn't work. Like any poison around the home, pesticides should be used as a last resort and with extreme caution. Have you ever stopped to consider that for some pest problems you may not need a pesticide? On the small scale of yards and family gardens, nonchemical pest control can be a feasible alternative. Why Try Alternative Pest Control?

T oxicology Publication Date: 9/93 The widespread use and disposal of pesticides by farmers, institutions and the general public provide many possible sources of pesticides in the environment. Following release into the environment, pesticides may have many different fates. Pesticides which are sprayed can move through the air and may eventually end up in other parts of the environment, such as in soil or water. Pesticides which are applied directly to the soil may be washed off the soil into nearby bodies of surface water or may percolate through the soil to lower soil layers and groundwater. Pesticides which are injected into the soil may also be subject to the latter two fates. The application of pesticides directly to bodies of water for weed control, or indirectly as a result of leaching from boat paint, runoff from soil or other routes, may lead not only to build up of pesticides in water, but also may contribute to air levels through evaporation.

Extractions: Introduction Sources of Contamination Sensitive Areas Pesticide Movement ... Harmful Effects on Surfaces Introduction The environment is everything that is around us. It includes not only the natural elements that the word "environment" most often brings to mind, but also people and the manmade components of our world. Neither is the environment limited to the outdoors it also includes the indoor areas in which we live and work. Anyone who uses a pesticide indoors or outdoors, in a city or in the country must consider how that pesticide will affect the environment. The user must ask two questions: How will this pesticide affect the immediate environment at the site where it is being used? What are the dangers that the pesticide will move out of the use site and cause harm to other parts of the environment? Pesticides can harm all types of environments if they are not used correctly. Responsible pesticide users know and follow good practices that achieve effective pest control with very little risk of environmental damage. Pesticide product labeling statements are intended to alert you to particular environmental concerns that a pesticide product poses.

http://www.cape.ca/toxics/pesticides.html

Extractions: Pesticides are among the most widely used chemicals in the world, and also among the most dangerous to human health. They are a leading cause of poisonings here in Canada and have been estimated to account for thousands deaths each year globally. Pesticides can also have chronic health effects both as sequelae of acute poisonings and from chronic exposure. Many studies have documented adverse health effects on humans. There are several areas of concern. Many of the commonly used household insecticides are organophosphates. These have been linked in many studies to neurological damage in humans. In fact, chlorpyrifos, a pesticide from this class, was recently banned by the EPA in the US a recent review of the science demonstrated that children have been routinely exposed to unsafe levels. There is also convincing evidence that pesticides play a role in human cancers. For example, epidemiologic studies have linked exposure to insecticides in the home to development of brain cancer and leukemia in children. Studies have also documented reproductive abnormalities such as an increased rate of miscarriage in people with chronic exposure to pesticides.

http://www.scotland.gov.uk/library5/environment/kpow-00.asp

Extractions: LOCAL ENVIRONMENT RISK ASSESSMENT FOR PESTICIDES (LERAP) This document is also available in pdf format Most pesticide users are aware of the need for care in selecting and applying suitable products to their crops. Such action helps to minimise the amount of pesticide reaching ground or surface water by seepage or run-off from sprayed crops. This contributes to our water quality, keeps water treatment costs down and makes further restrictions on pesticide use less likely. Run-off from a crop is not, however, the only way that pesticide can enter our water. Spillage of concentrate or spray falling outside the crop area can also result in significant quantities reaching our water supplies. This booklet gives advice on good practice for handling pesticides before, during and after spraying. It also illustrates the pollution potential for concentrates and thus the importance of operator awareness and care. The EC limit for an individual pesticide in drinking water is 0.1 micrograms per litre (µg/1) - equivalent to one drop of concentrate in an Olympic-sized swimming pool.
