Therefore, the risk to non-target sites of agrochemical contamination is dependent on the physicochemical structure of the compound, properties of the soil, climatic conditions, land structure and agrochemical management practices (Bedmar, Gimenez, Costa, & Daniel, 2017;Liyanage, Watawala, Aravinna, Smith, & Kookana, 2006;Pan & Chu, 2017a).
