“…PEI introduced restrictions on its use near waterways, and there has not been a fish kill attributed to azinphos-methyl since 2002. Measured residues of this compound have since declined across the region [33]. However, from 2002 onward, the fungicide chlorothalonil is the suspected toxic substance in at least 70% of fish kills [51].…”

“…Agricultural land use influences fish populations in the province as approximately 50% of the province is used for agricultural production [29,30]. As a consequence of the highly agricultural land-use sedimentation, nitrogen loading from fertilizers and pesticide runoff events are common phenomena in PEI waterways [31][32][33]. The present study took place in three PEI watersheds, Mill River (50.1 km 2 ), Montague River (65.4 km 2 ), and Trout River (51.9 km 2 ) (Figure 1).…”

Brook trout populations in Prince Edward Island, Canada, have experienced over 50 pesticide-related fish kills since the 1960s. Life history evaluation of large sea-run brook trout recovered following two fish kill events was compared with a reference river using strontium:calcium otolith microchemistry. This study examined the dual hypotheses that anadromous brook trout are more likely to arise from sea-run mothers, and that freshwater entry timing makes them vulnerable to pesticide-induced fish kills. A total 89% of the fish exhibited an anadromous life history, and 77% of these were offspring of anadromous mothers, suggesting that anadromy is dominant in progeny of sea-run mothers. This study adds to our understanding of the maternal inheritance of anadromy in sea-run brook trout populations. Additionally, freshwater entry precedes the majority of fish kill events, illustrating that the overlap between migration and pesticide runoff contributes to the cumulative population risks to sea-run brook trout.

“…Open-field agriculture practices in comparison can lead to contamination of groundwater, rivers, lakes, and coastal waters by pesticides and herbicides [45][46][47] as well as have toxic effects on human health and other organisms (eg, birds, fish, beneficial insects); decrease the quality of food commodities; contaminate soil; and decrease soil fertility as well as affect air quality. 48,49…”

This article identifies the potential environmental effects large-scale indoor farming may have on air, water, and soil. We begin with an overview of what indoor farming is with a focus on greenhouses and indoor vertical farms (eg, plant factories). Next, the differences between these 2 primary methods of indoor farming are presented based on their structural requirements, methods of growing, media, nutrient sources, lighting requirements, facility capacity, and methods of climate control. We also highlight the benefits and challenges facing indoor farming. In the next section, an overview of research and the knowledge domain of indoor and vertical farming is provided. Various authors and topics for research are highlighted. In the next section, the transformative environmental effects that indoor farming may have on air, soil, and water are discussed. This article closes with suggestions for additional research on indoor farming and its influence on the environment.

“…23 Neonicotinoids insecticides have been reported to be extensively present in surface waters across Canada due to their continuous uses. [24][25][26] A chronic aquatic life criterion (CALC) of 8.3 ng L −1 has hence been adopted by the Quebec Ministry of the Environment for either individual neonicotinoid or their sum to protect aquatic organisms in surface waters. 27 The occurrence of chlorantraniliprole, a neonicotinoids substitute, has been recently reported in Canadian waters, 24,26,28 even though its sales are still relatively low.…”
