“…Our discussion of possible sources of contamination included arsenic runoff from poultry farms. Our study is not the first to propose agriculture as a probable contributing source to the immunological and reproductive impairment seen in this region [3–7]. Although the Avtex Corporation is a well‐documented point source of arsenic in the mainstem [8], this source does not logically explain arsenic levels upriver in the North and South Forks of the Shenandoah River.…”

Atrazine residues in estuarine water and the aerial deposition of atrazine into Rhode River, Maryland

1981

Water samples from the Rhode River, an estuary situated on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, were analyzed for atrazine residues twice a week for 2 yr. Precipitation samples, which included dryfall, rainfall, and snowfall were collected with wide-mouth stainless steel collection pans situated about 20 m above ground in an open space. A total of 68 precipitation samples was collected from December 1976 to February 1979. Atrazine residues were detectable in estuarine water and in rainwater year-round. Atrazine residues in estuarine water were generally 6 to 190 ng 1-t; atrazine residues in rainwater (bulk precipitation) were 3 to 2190 ng 1 1. Atrazine residues in rainwater samples collected during the winter season (January to April 1977) were unexpectedly high (e.g., 3 to 970 ngl-1). The highest atrazine concentration of 2190 ng 1-1 was detected from a 0.76 cm rainfall event collected on May 19, 1977. Intermittent spraying operations of atrazine within the cornfields were generally done during May of each year. Rain samples collected during May of 1978 also showed higher atrazine residues than the rest of the 1978 growing season, but at levels much less than those detected in 1977 rainwater. Aithough high atrazine concentrations were detected in winter rainfall, these did not result in similarly higher atrazine concentrations in estuarine receiving waters. Our data showed a decline of atrazine concentrations in estuarine water in October and November which continued until a rainfall following Spring herbicide applications. Atrazine is enriched at the microsurface layer of estuarine water, but direct atmospheric input of atrazine did not seem to contribute significantly to the enrichment mechanism. Atrazine is believed to be transported long distances in polluted air masses. The estuarine microsurface layer could be a source of atmospheric atrazine, but the importance of the source is yet to be determined. Atrazine was quantitatively determined by GC using a nitrogen specific electrolytic detector and was confirmed by GC/Mass. Water, Air, and Soil Pollution 15 (1981) 173-184.
