Determination and aquatic risk assessment of pesticide residues in riparian drainage canals in northeastern Greece

Rainfastness of Insecticides Used to Control Japanese Beetle in Blueberries

“…A recent investigation into the runoff of pyrethroids in urban environments showed that pyrethroid runoff is greatest when rainfall immediately after an application event (Jiang et al 2012). In a study that sampled a drainage basin in northeastern Greece found that carbaryl, phosmet, and cypermethrin were frequently detected at high levels (Vryzas et al 2011) indicating a risk of these insecticides because of runoff, possibly because of rainfall. Imidacloprid, when applied to turf and concrete has been shown to wash off and pose a risk to aquatic vertebrates (Thuyet et al 2012).…”

Toxicity of environmental Gesagard to goldfish may be connected with induction of low intensity oxidative stress in concentration- and tissue-related manners

“…For example, prometryn concentrations of 0.078-4.40 g L −1 were measured in surface water in Greece (Vryzas et al, 2011) whereas, in surface waters of Western France, prometryn was detected at concentrations from 0.1 to 0.44 g L −1 (Caquet et al, 2013). The highest environmental concentration of prometryn (0.51 g L −1 ) was detected in Czech rivers (Stará et al, 2014).…”

Effects of cypermethrin on survival, morphological and biochemical aspects of rohu (Labeo rohita) during early development

“…As a result, CYP appeared as a major threat to the aquatic organisms including fishes because of its penetration and surface runoff into natural water bodies (John and Prakash, 2003). CYP residues have been extensively detected in sediments and water samples (Marino and Ronco, 2005) as well as in algea, invertebrates and fish (Vryzas et al, 2011), particularly in areas with extensive agricultural practices. Few studies in Pakistan have reported CYP in tissues of different fishes like Channa marulius (0.141e0.174 mg/g) and Catla catla (0.35 ± 0.03e3.47 ± 0.21 mg/g) and also from sediments (0.183e0.197 mg/g) and water samples (0.0042e2.68 mg/L) of river Indus and Ravi respectively (Jabeen et al, 2015;Mahboob et al, 2015).…”
