“…Atmospheric pesticide contamination was observed in urban and rural areas with concentration levels from some picogram per cubic meter (pg m -3 ) to several nanogram per cubic meter (µg m -3 ) (Coscollà et al, 2013(Coscollà et al, , 2014Estellano et al, 2015;Zivan et al, 2016Zivan et al, , 2017. This contamination can be due to spray drift during pesticide applications (about 15 to 40%;Sinfort et al, 2009;Yates et al, 2015;Zivan et al, 2016Zivan et al, , 2017, post-application volatilization from treated plants (Zivan et al, 2016(Zivan et al, ,2017, soil (White et al, 2006) or aquatic surfaces (Luo et al, 2012) (about 0.1 to several dozen %; Lichiheb et al, 2015), and wind erosion (Glotfelty et al, 1989).…”
